Agastya Nanda recently made his acting debut with the film, The Archies, which was released on the OTT platform, Netflix, on December 7, 2023. While his loving grandparents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, along with his mama, Abhishek Bachchan and parents, Shweta Bachchan, Nikhil Nanda and their daughter, Navya were seen extremely ecstatic with his performance, many netizens weren't impressed with his acting skills. Sone of the netizens also penned down some mean comments on the film's entire cast for giving such an under-rated performance.
Now, a Reddit user shared a piece of information about Agastya Nanda's role in his next movie. The Reddit user mentioned that Agastya would portray the character of a 1971 war hero named 'Arun Khetrapal' in his next film, Ekkis, helmed by Sriram. The budding actor will reportedly start shooting for Ekkis in January 2024. Moreover, the Reddit user shared a collage of Agastya's photo with that of the real-life hero, Arun Khetrapal.

In his personal life, Agastya is indeed his dadu, Amitabh Bachchan's aankhon ka tara and proof of the same is often found. For instance, it was seen when the cast of The Archies, including Agastya, graced one of the episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati 15. Over there, the budding actors interacted with the host, Amitabh while playing the quiz game on the hot seat. In one of the segments of the episode, the doting grandfather recalled a fond anecdote about his grandson, Agastya. Amitabh mentioned that when Agastya came to Mumbai to spend time with him, he never liked Mumbai and wanted to return to Delhi soon. Big B mentioned:
“Agastya’s parents had gone abroad for a trip and they left him with me. They are all from Delhi, so when he came to Mumbai, I took him out to roam in the car. From the minute he sat in the car, he said I want to go to Delhi. Finally after convincing him we got him home. After some time, he packed all his bags and carried them on his shoulders and came. I asked him, Agastya what are you doing? He said I am going to Delhi. In the end, I had to call his parents. I told them bhaisaab, aap log jaldi wapas aa jaiye, aapka beta jo hai wo Delhi jana chahta hai. They had to come back.”
