Netflix has partnered with Archie Comics for the film, in which Akhtar and her longtime collaborator Reema Kagti are also producing under their production banner Tiger Baby. The music track is composed by Ankur Tiwari and the Islanders. The film has been written by Zoya, Reema and Ayesha Devitre.
The Archies began production in April, when Reema shared a slate from the first day of shoot on her Instagram, where she wrote, “Archie’s shoot starts, Tiger Baby’s first solo production #partnerincrime @zoieakhtar @Netflix.”
