Citadel: Honey Bunny trailer: Following the success of the British and Italian versions of the Russo Brothers' spy action thriller ‘Citadel’, audiences can now gear up for the much-anticipated Indian installment. The trailer of ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ starring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu was unveiled on Tuesday. The series is directed by the acclaimed duo Raj & DK, known for their hit spy thrillers ‘The Family Man’ and ‘Farzi’.
'Citadel: Honey Bunny' centers around Bunny, a stuntman, and Honey, a struggling actor, who find themselves entangled in a dangerous world of espionage, deception, and intense combat. The trailer offers a glimpse into the action-packed scenes where the two not only fight together but also against each other. Set against the backdrop of the iconic song ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ from Farhan Akhtar's 2006 crime drama Don, the visuals are packed with adrenaline-fueled stunts, weapons, and tension.
The trailer also shows the name of Honey’s daughter, Nadia, which is a nod to Priyanka Chopra’s character in the original Citadel series. Priyanka played the role of Nadia in the UK edition, which debuted last year on Prime Video.
Varun Dhawan on playing Bunny
Talking about his character in the film, Varun said, “Bunny is unlike any role I’ve played before. As a spy, he not only leads a double life, but every aspect of his personality has two distinct sides, which was very exciting for me as an actor. Intricately woven into the storyline, his portrayal required me to draw on a blend of experiences and characters I’ve embodied over the years, as well as mentally and physically prepare for the grueling stunts and amped-up action scenes, making it one of my most challenging performances yet.”
Samantha Ruth Prabhu on playing Honey
Samantha said, "The opportunity to be part of an action-packed entertainer with a gripping storyline, rich character depth, and intense hand-to-hand combats and stunts that rival international standards, along with the prospect to play an integral role in this collection of connected spy stories, is what drew me to this project. The challenges and efforts required to bring Honey to life have left a profound impact on me, both professionally and personally, making it one of the most significant roles of my career.”
'Citadel: Honey Bunny' is set to premiere on Prime Video India on November 7, adding another chapter to the expanding global Citadel universe.
