by The highly anticipated Citadel: Honey Bunny is the latest offering in Amazon Prime Video’s global Citadel franchise, starring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The show, directed by Raj & DK, is a blend of high-octane action and gripping espionage drama, set in the 1990s. It serves as the Indian adaptation of the original Citadel series, which was headlined by Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden.
The trailer, which launched on October 15, 2024, teases a retro-styled spy thriller packed with suspense, action, and intense chemistry between the lead characters, Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) and Bunny (Varun Dhawan). The series also features Kay Kay Menon, Sikandar Kher, Soham Majumdar, and others, adding depth and variety to its already stellar cast.
The premise revolves around a stuntman, Bunny, and a struggling actress, Honey, who are recruited into a covert mission that leads them into dangerous situations filled with intrigue and action. Directed by the famed duo Raj & DK, known for their previous hit series The Family Man, the show promises to be packed with thrilling moments, all while set against the backdrop of the ’90s. The trailer features impressive action sequences, as well as lighter moments, giving audiences a glimpse of the comedic interplay between the lead characters.
This adaptation is part of the larger Citadel universe, which is being helmed by Joe and Anthony Russo (the Russo Brothers of Avengers: Endgame fame). The Indian installment, however, has been uniquely crafted to reflect local sensibilities while maintaining the overarching global storyline. The show’s production is supported by Amazon MGM Studios, with the Russo Brothers serving as executive producers.
The series will premiere globally on November 7, 2024, on Amazon Prime, making it accessible to a vast audience across more than 240 countries. As the trailer suggests, Citadel: Honey Bunny will explore the world of espionage with both heart and humor, making it one of the most anticipated OTT releases of the year – Wikipedia – Bollywood Hungama – Cinema Express
