Varun Dhawan REVEALS why he was banned from other projects while shooting Citadel Honey Bunny; ‘I was given a strict instruction….’

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in the entertainment industry, I must say that the upcoming Indian spy action thriller series, Citadel: Honey Bunny, is shaping up to be quite an exciting addition to our screens. Having had the opportunity to work closely with various actors and productions over the years, I can attest to the unique dynamics that arise during such projects, and from the looks of it, this series seems to be no exception.


“Citadel: Honey Bunny,” featuring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, is an upcoming Indian spy action series that’s a spin-off of the American TV show Citadel, spearheaded by Priyanka Chopra. In a recent chat, Varun divulged some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from filming. As he disclosed, he was forbidden from taking on other jobs during his tenure on Raj & DK’s directorial project. He also spoke about his collaboration with Samantha and expressed that her remarkable work ethic served as a source of motivation for him.

During today’s premiere event for the show “Citadel: Honey Bunny” on August 1st, actor Varun Dhawan disclosed that the producers requested he focus solely on this project to ensure his appearance wouldn’t be spoiled prematurely.

Initially, Varun mentioned that the producers had strict guidelines for Dhawan before he joined the project. He explained the rules by saying, “You’re not allowed to do another role during this, and don’t take on any ads. This is your character; you can only portray it.” He found the experience more enjoyable because he got to play the character for a longer duration of time.

During the gathering, Varun commended his fellow actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu and shared an interesting anecdote about their initial filming day. He reminisced about the time when Samantha encouraged him to give her a punch. “Our story is a passionate tale of love with a violent undertone,” he explained.

In addition to discussing other topics, Varun Dhawan praised Samantha’s resilience and tenacity, as she faced challenging health issues while filming. He admitted that his own preparation paled in comparison to what Samantha went through during the shoot.

Dhawan shared that he initially found his rehearsals challenging, but witnessing her dedication, even amidst hardships, left him inspired. Together, they united to bring ideas to fruition.

Praising Samantha’s never-say-die spirit, Varun Dhawan said that he had never been on a shoot or a creative process like that before, where he witnessed a co-actor going through such challenges. Varun said, “You learn a lot about human resilience and strength when you see someone battling something and still succeeding. Samantha inspired not just me, but also Raj, DK, Sita, and everyone at Amazon. Her dedication to this action show is truly inspirational.”

The teaser for this series promises an exhilarating journey of thrill, action, and heroism, seasoned with a delightful 90s vibe. Actors Samantha Prabhu as Honey and Varun Dhawan as Bunny are intriguing in their secret agent roles, and the addition of skilled actors like Kay Kay Menon enriches the ensemble cast.

Instead of simply reposting, Priyanka Chopra chose to re-share the post from the creators of Citadel: Honey Bunny, which stars Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. As a global icon who has also been involved in the American version of this series (Citadel), she gave a warm endorsement to the show and its talented cast using several collision emojis. She even tagged the lead actors, directors Raj& DK, and the production team.

The creators have revealed the teaser with the title “Honey Bunny…” and they’ve unveiled the release date! Here it is: #CitadelHoneyBunnyOnPrime #CitadelOnPrime #CitadelHoneyBunny.

In Citadel: Honey Bunny, actors like Kay Kay Menon, Saqib Saleem, and Sikandar Kher join the cast as well. It’s been announced that there will be non-English spin-offs for this production, with a Hindi version titled Citadel: Honey Bunny (Hindi) and an Italian one called Citadel: Diana. The Italian version is scheduled to premiere on October 10, 2024, while the Hindi version follows on November 7, 2024. Fans are excitedly counting down the days until they can watch Varun and Samantha in this upcoming thriller series.
