'Citadel: Honey Bunny' trailer: Varrun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are all set with their blazing guns

The much-anticipated trailer for Citadel: Honey Bunny, a new Indian original series, has just been unveiled, and it promises to be an action-packed thrill ride. Directed by the talented duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, this series is a part of the expansive Citadel universe.

The series stars Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in lead roles, supported by a talented ensemble cast that includes Kay Kay Menon, Simran, Saqib Saleem, Sikandar Kher, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, and Kashvi Majmundar. The trailer teases viewers with an exhilarating glimpse into a vibrant 90s backdrop filled with espionage, action, and unexpected twists. The plot centers on Bunny, portrayed by Dhawan, a stuntman who pulls struggling actress Honey (Samantha) into a dangerous side gig, leading them into a world of intrigue and betrayal. Years later, the duo must confront their turbulent past to protect their daughter, Nadia, from the consequences of their earlier choices.

Raj & DK shared their excitement about the project, stating, "Citadel: Honey Bunny is a significant project for us as it allows us to be part of a larger universe of spies and espionage. This collaboration with the Russo Brothers and other talented creators worldwide has made this an incredibly rewarding creative experience."

Varun Dhawan expressed his enthusiasm for taking on the role of Bunny, describing it as unlike any character he has portrayed before. He noted the complexity of playing a spy with a dual identity, which required him to blend various experiences and undergo extensive training for the high-octane stunts involved. "This is one of my most challenging performances yet," Dhawan shared, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to bring Bunny to life.

Samantha also shared her thoughts, saying, "Being part of an action-filled series with a gripping narrative and rich character development drew me to this project. The challenges of portraying Honey have profoundly impacted me, both professionally and personally. I believe the audience will enjoy this series not just in India, but worldwide."

Citadel: Honey Bunny is the latest addition to the Citadel franchise, which began with the successful first season starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. This series quickly became Prime Video’s second most-watched new original series outside the U.S. The Citadel universe continues to expand, with Citadel: Diana already released in Italy and a second season of the original series currently in production.

With its thrilling storyline, impressive cast, and high production values, Citadel: Honey Bunny is poised to be a standout series this fall. Be sure to catch it on Prime Video starting November 7.
