About Citadel storyline
Citadel, an independent global spy agency—tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people—was destroyed by the operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. With Citadel’s fall, elite agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They’ve remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts. Until one night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason seeks out his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love.
Citadel is a multi-series franchise with local productions being made in Italy, India and Mexico. The Indian series is developed by 'The Family Man' fame director-duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK and stars Varun Dhawan and Samantha Prabhu.
