Citadel: Honey Bunny production details
D2R Films and Amazon MGM Studios produce the series, while AGBO, the Russo Brothers' production company, serves as the executive producer. David Weil, together with Anthony, Joe, Angela, and Scott Nemes of AGBO, are executive producers of Citadel: Honey Bunny and all the shows set in the Citadel universe. An additional executive producer is Midnight Radio.
Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, Kashvi Majmundar, Sikandar Kher, Saqib Saleem, Simran, and Kay Kay Menon are all part of the ensemble cast.
Premiere announcement
At a Mumbai fan gathering, Prime Video revealed the premiere date and debuted a series trailer. Set in the 1990s, Citadel: Honey Bunny combines elements of a love story with an espionage action thriller. The teaser showcases glimpses of Varun and Samantha from the series. Along with them, there's a little girl who seems to be playing the younger version of Priyanka Chopra Jonas' Citadel character, Nadia Sinh. Shilpa Rao's new rendition of the retro song Raat Baaki serves as the backdrop for the teaser.
According to Nikhil Madhok, head of originals at Prime Video India, the Indian series set in the world of Citadel combines the allure of the '90s with an engrossing storyline and genuinely mesmerising performances from Samantha as Honey, Varun as Bunny, and the rest of the ensemble cast. The fictional series will transport viewers to the inception of this covert worldwide spy agency, exploring its origins, operations, impact, and ascent with the characteristic flair of Raj & DK that audiences have grown to adore.
In Season 2 of Raj & DK's Prime Video series The Family Man, Samantha was a mainstay, and Menon was an integral part of their series Farzi, which was also available on Prime Video.
Creative vision
Citadel: Honey Bunny is a daring mashup of raunchy, high-octane action and riveting drama, with outstanding acting from Raj and DK. They present Varun, the daring action hero, with much anticipation, and Samantha's action skills are unparalleled. In addition to their fantastic cast, they are overjoyed to have reunited with Kay Kay Menon.
In the Citadel canon, Citadel: Honey Bunny streams after the Italian series Citadel: Diana (which premieres on October 10). Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas premiered in the original Citadel series in 2023. Joe Russo will helm the upcoming second season of the show, which is scheduled to begin production this year.
