The trailer for Citadel: Honey Bunny has just dropped, and it introduces us to two exciting new characters played by Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. This Indian version of the popular Citadel series will premiere on Prime Video India on November 7.
What’s the Buzz About?
Citadel: Honey Bunny is directed by Raj & DK, the creative minds behind hit series like The Family Man and Farzi. After the UK and Italian editions of the Citadel franchise, fans are eager to see how this homegrown story unfolds.
In this action-packed series, we follow Bunny, a stuntman, and Honey, a struggling actor. Their lives take a thrilling turn as they get caught up in a world filled with espionage, deception, and plenty of excitement. The trailer showcases intense action sequences, including gunfights and elaborate stunts, as Bunny and Honey navigate their dangerous new reality—sometimes fighting alongside each other and sometimes against each other.
A Musical Twist
One standout feature in the trailer is its use of the classic song “Aaj Ki Raat” from the 2006 film Don, which adds a nostalgic touch to the modern action. Fans of Raj & DK will also appreciate the clever humor woven throughout the trailer, a signature element of their storytelling style.
Fun Easter Eggs
For those paying close attention, the trailer includes a fun Easter egg: Honey’s daughter is named Nadia, the same name as Priyanka Chopra’s character in the UK version of Citadel. This little detail connects the two series and adds an interesting layer for fans who have followed the franchise.
A Look Back at Citadel
The original Citadel series, set in the UK, premiered last year on Prime Video. Co-created by Josh Appelbaum, Bryan Oh, and David Weil, this edition featured stars like Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden. The show was well-received, with its blend of action and drama, and has already been renewed for a second season.
In this version, Priyanka’s character, Nadia, has a rich backstory that will be further explored in Honey Bunny. The series was produced by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO and featured an impressive cast, including Stanley Tucci as the head of the spy agency and Lesley Manville as the main antagonist.
What’s Next?
In addition to Honey Bunny, fans can look forward to another installment, Citadel: Diana, which is set to release globally on October 10, 2024. This six-episode series is set in Milan in 2030 and follows Diana Cavalieri, a former agent of the Citadel. After the agency faces destruction from a powerful group called Manticore, Diana goes undercover as a mole. Her journey becomes even more complicated when she has to rely on Edo Zani, the son of a Manticore leader.
Citadel: Honey Bunny promises to deliver excitement, humor, and drama, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre. So mark your calendars for November 7 and get ready to cheer for Bunny and Honey as they embark on their thrilling adventure!
