There was a debate surrounding nepotism when the cast of The Archies was unveiled. Speaking to Indian Express, director Zoya Akhtar addressed the matter and said, "There is definitely a conversation of have and have nots, there is definitely a conversation of people with privilege and those without. May be the film industry has become a symbol of it to some level, but I think what people need to ask for is what they really want. Better school, better education? By denying someone a career of their choice, that’s not going to make anything better for you. So I understand that to the root of it there is something but just this conversation is not taking it anywhere. It is not changing anything."
