After the announcement, Aryan Khan took to his Instagram stories to wish his 'baby sister'. This marked his first post on social media since he received bail in drugs bust case last October. Sharing the poster of The Archies, Aryan wrote, “Best of luck baby sister! Go kick some ass. (The) teaser looks awesome everyone looks great. All of you will kill it."

Shah Rukh Khan also took to social media to celebrate his daughter Suhana Khan's big acting debut as she takes his legacy forward. "Remember Suhana you are never going to be perfect... but being yourself is the closest to that. Be kind and giving as an actor... the brickbats and applause is not yours to keep... the part of you that gets left behind on screen will always belong to you... you have come a long way baby... but the road to people's heart is unending... stride forth and make as many smile as you can. Now let there be Light... Camera and Action!", Shah Rukh wrote.
