The Indian adaptation is directed by Raj & DK and produced by D2R Films and Amazon MGM Studios. This spy action thriller series is set to captivate audiences on November 7 in Amazon Prime Video.
The filmmakers unveiled the trailer of ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ earlier in Mumbai today. During the event, Varun Dhawan shared how he landed the role. He revealed that after being impressed with Raj & DK’s ‘Family Man’ series, after the release of season 2, he called DK, talking about the series, and in the conversation he learned about the collaboration of Raj & DK with Russo brothers, hinting at a potential global reach for the project. After meeting with Raj, he was excited about the endless creative possibilities for his character.
Varun also shared how he manifested Samantha to be part of this project. He said, “Honestly, I was manifesting and hoping that Samantha will be the actor that they want with me in this. I told them even before they mentioned her name that it would be Samantha. I’ve just seen ‘Family Man 2’ and became a fan. Honestly, I was a fan after watching ‘Makki’ and everything just came together.
