Rohit Roy reveals daughter Kiara was approached for The Archies, but had to say no: ‘She couldn’t give it a thought…’

“About a year and a half back, I was at a fashion event hosted by Shabana Azmi. There was a great amount of media and paps and of course many stars. Later, Excel called me for The Archies. I told them that she is studying at the Brown University but I will check. I did tell her but she couldn’t give it a thought given the space she is in, where competition is intense. I have told her that once you finish your education and want to give it a thought, we would wholly support you,” Roy shared.

Zoya Akhtar is directing a film based on the popular comic book characters. The Archies will mark the debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan, Boney Kapoor’s daughter Khushi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda.

Apart from being an actor, Rohit Roy is also a writer and director. So does he plan to launch his daughter, we asked. “I would not,” pat came the reply.

Elaborating on the same, the actor said, “I think it’s one of the biggest mistakes of filmmakers to direct their own kids. It’s the worst thing. I may produce for her but not direct her. The point also remains that she would want to be directed by Karan Johar more than me (laughs). But I will never helm her first film as I would not be able to push the envelope. It would be best if she’s directed by someone who works with her only as a creative collaborator. I think filmmakers should never launch their kids.”

Rohit Roy also shared that he’s working on an action series that will star him alongside elder brother Ronit Roy.
