Honestly, The Archies was a bit of a letdown. The story felt weak. But I agree with Mihir - the newcomers did have a certain screen presence, probably from being around sets since childhood. Hope they choose better scripts next time.

Good on him for having the right attitude. Coming with a clean slate is the best way. In any job, you have to learn from your colleagues, film family or not. His role was actually quite fun in the movie!

It's interesting he points out their exposure. It's true, star kids often understand camera angles and set etiquette intuitively. But talent and hard work are what make you last. Mihir seems grounded.

Respectful comment, but let's be real. It's much easier for star kids to get a big Netflix debut. Mihir is being diplomatic, as he should. The real test is who sustains a career for the next 10 years. Rooting for all the young talent! ✨
