Citadel: Samantha trains with experts in the US for her upcoming spy action drama

It looks like Samantha is quite busy preparing for her upcoming spy action drama in the US. The reigning lady of Indian cinema, who recently impressed the audiences with the peppy number, Oo Antava, which has still not faded away even after 9 months since release, has begun working on her upcoming project, Citadel.

Citadel is said to be the Indian version of the umbrella series of the same name, and will also star Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan. The actress is undergoing some intense training for the Russo Brothers series. This will be Samantha's second plunge into the OTT platform after her hit show, The Family Man 2. A source close to the actress reveals, "Samantha has been working on getting into her character for Citadel in the US. She is following a very strict fitness and lifestyle regime there to get into the physicality of her character in the series. Over there, she is training with renowned experts working in the entertainment space for action."

Samantha has been ruling the charts as one of the most popular female stars across India, month after month this year. The impact of her last song Oo Antava from the Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa: The Rise had on the audience is unprecedented. She had earlier impressed the audiences before that with a completely contrasting role as Raji AKA Rajyalakshmi Sekaran, who belongs to a rebel force and fights for justice for Sri Lankan Tamils in The Family Man 2. The actress also has an exciting slate of projects ahead including Citadel with Shaakuntalam, Khushi, and Yashoda.

Speculations were rife about Samantha's trip to the US and rumours did overtime stating that the actress was there for the treatment for a rare skin condition. Rumours also made the rounds that the actress was about to take a break from all her projects. Now with the announcement of the new project, the rumours can be laid to rest.
