Raj & DK on similarities between Citadel: Honey Bunny and Fast & Furious 7
In an interview with DNA, when the director-duo, Raj & DK was asked about the similarities and comparisons between the two shows, Raj Nidimoru said that he hadn't seen Fast & Furious 7 yet. He has read enough comments and has no idea about Fast & Furious 7 and added, "We have seen the first three parts."
"This (Citadel: Honey Bunny) is set in the 90s. It's not about the high-tech that Furious 7 is talking about. That's another level of tech. This is like a premonition, giving us a warning of how things are going to be in the future," he added.
On the other hand, Krishna DK added, "Basically I can argue now, that it is already happening. So we're not talking about the future. It's the future in the show that is already today. You and I can be tracked very easily. The powerful people would exactly know where you are. This is set in the 90s, and they're talking about the futuristic system."
Meanwhile, Raj continued that their take was in a way where they are all under surveillance. Their data are being tracked. In Citadel: Honey Bunny, it is all is about a satellite tracking system, a very basic one, not years ahead, that can track the people, and even who they meet.
