Amitabh’s pics with Agastya
Sharing their pictures on X (Formerly Twitter) early on Monday, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, “T 4856 – Sunoo!! (rose emoji).” His tweet was a reference to Sunoh, a song picturised on Agastya and others in his debut film, The Archies. Introducing the key characters from Riverdale, Sunoh was the first music video from the Netflix film, which was unveiled in October.
In the pictures he shared, as Amitabh Bachchan waved to fans gathered in huge numbers outside his home, he embraced Agastya, who wore a big smile, on the pedestal. Another picture, taken from behind, showed excited fans waving to Amitabh and Agastya and clicking their photos.
