Maverick Director Duo:

The creative genius of Raj and DK has been appreciated and loved by audiences all over the world, with shows like The Family Man season 1 & 2, Farzi, and many more. But what tops all of their previous shows and films is the dynamic collaboration with the legendary Russo Brothers, who consider Raj and DK as the only ones who could envision and create Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian series that is part of the connected world of Citadel.

A Riveting Story

The story of the series revolves around a stuntman named Bunny (Varun Dhawan), who recruits struggling actress Honey (Samantha) for a side gig. They are hurled into a high-stakes world of action, espionage, and betrayal. Years later, as their dangerous past catches up with them, the estranged Honey and Bunny must reunite and fight to protect their young daughter, Nadia.

Two of the Biggest stars coming together

With an enviable fan following, Varun and Samantha are arguably two of the biggest superstars in the industry, boasting of many superhit films under their belts. The eclectic combination of Samantha as Honey following her acclaimed performance of Raji in The Family Man Season 2 and Varun as Bunny, making his streaming debut, the series will be a treat for their fans and audience of the action-espionage genre.

Stunts of International Calibre

Citadel: Honey Bunny is certainly not for the faint-hearted, with high-octane stunt sequences fearlessly executed by Varun and Samantha on par with the scale and calibre of international stunts, promising to leave the audience gasping for breath.

Part of Russo Brothers’ World of Citadel

Originating from a vision of the Russo Brothers and Jennifer Salke of Amazon Studios, Citadel traverses beyond borders with standalone series in the US starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas that launched last year, followed by Citadel: Diana in Italy with Matilda De Angelis in the lead, and now the Indian series, ready to launch that expands the world of Citadel.

Raj & DK also shared, “Citadel: Honey Bunny is a significant project for us as it has given us the opportunity to be part of a larger, unprecedented world of spies and espionage that has never been done or even attempted before. We have created all our projects so far, but Citadel: Honey Bunny is our first collaboration. And that it is with the creative forces like the Russo Brothers, as well as a host of talented filmmakers and creators around the world, has made this an amazingly valuable creative experience.”
