#Nepotism starts trending on Twitter every time a star kid bags a film. Last time, it was when Shanaya Kapoor starrer ‘Bedhadak’ was announced. And now, the official poster and teaser for ‘The Archies’ have got the internet buzzing.

Star kids getting a nice platform. Good to see @NetflixIndia acting as a platform for nepotism. https://t.co/ygWF1Zcj7J

This movie will break all “Nepometer” records for sure. Too much plastic in one frame.
