In keeping with tradition, veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan took some time off from his packed schedule to greet fans gathered outside his Mumbai home. He pleasantly surprised them by bringing his grandson, Agastya Nanda, along.

The images, shared by the renowned actor on X (previously Twitter), showed him waving to the enthusiastic fans alongside Agastya, who recently made his Bollywood debut with the Netflix film ‘The Archies’.

Accompanying the pictures was tweet number 4856 with the caption 'Sunoo' accompanied by a red flower emoji. It refers to the song ‘Sunoh’ from the Zoya Akhtar directorial. 

For the occasion, Big B wore a multi-coloured sweatshirt with white joggers, while Agastya wore a basic black t-shirt with a pair of blue pants.

ABOUT AGASTYA NANDA

Agastya Nanda, the 23-year-old actor, entered the film industry through the teen musical comedy directed by Zoya Akhtar. 

This Bollywood adaptation of the American comic book also features stars like Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Aditi 'Dot' Saigal, and Yuvraj Menda. The movie debuted on Netflix on December 7. 

In this movie, Agastya Nanda plays the role of the iconic Archie Andrews and he has been drawing praise from both audiences and critics for his performance.

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar previously disclosed to The Free Press Journal that Agastya initially wasn't inclined towards acting, being more focused on business. However, after testing him in an audition, he demonstrated his talent and secured the role.
