There are cakes, milkshakes, music and dancing. But when Veronica’s industrialist father (Alyy Khan), with an approval from the town authorities, decides to build a hotel which might be the end of the gang’s beloved ‘Green Park’, it is now upto the kids to save their heritage.
When it comes to other characters, Dot will be seen as Ethell Muggs while Mihir Ahuja will play Jughead Jones. Vedang Raina and Yuvaraj Menda will play Reggie Mantle and Dilton Doiley, respectively.
