Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda is all set to make his debut in Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming film The Archies and to encourage him, Bachchan took to Twitter to share his blessings. The senior actor also praised Agastya’s work and said “you carry the torch ably ahead.”

Sharing the trailer of The Archies, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “T 4825 – Agastya my love blessings and more .. you carry the torch ably ahead ❤️❤️❤️”. Agastya is the son of Amitabh’s daughter Shweta Nanda and Nikhil Nanda. Agastya is also the great grandson of Raj Kapoor from his paternal side.

Earlier, Abhishek also shared Agastya’s trailer on his social media and wished him all the luck for The Archies. He shared in the caption, “This is just so cool! Can’t wait to see it. Agastya, I’m so, so proud of you. From jumping on my bed as a kid playing the air guitar to jumping out of the screen with a real one….. the journey has just begun. Play hard! 🤟🏽 Zo, you’ve knocked it out of the park again! And to the rest of the kids and the crew, all the very best. Very exciting. Welcome to the movies! #thearchies.”

Agastya, in an earlier chat with India Today, called his sister his “biggest PR.” He called his grandmother Ritu Nanda his role model. “I would say my role model is my dadi Ritu Nanda. She is no longer with us but she is a person I’ve always aspired to be like. She just had this warmth about her. If you were around her, you would feel like you could do anything. And I wish I could do that for the people around me, give them that positivity and love,” he said. Ritu Nanda passed away in 2020.
