Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s ‘Citadel Honey Bunny’ serves as the Indian installment within the Citadel universe. During the announcement event, when Karan Johar invited the show’s team to join him on stage, Varun Dhawan surprised everyone by touching Karan’s feet as a sign of respect. Karan was left speechless by the gesture, while the audience erupted into laughter at the unexpected moment. Following Varun, Samantha also followed suit and touched Karan’s feet, prompting the director to yell, ‘No,’ in a humorous response. Varun then said, ‘I think everyone should do it.” Karan said, ‘No, I don’t want to be aged here, please. I’m fighting my mid-life crisis; I don’t need you to put me in my place. Thank you.’ Talking about being a part of the series, Samantha said, ‘I never would have imagined that I would take action. But today, for me, being at this event is already such a victory, because at the last moment I didn’t really think I could do it. I didn’t think I would be a part of the citadel. I’m extremely grateful to Raj, DK, Sita, and Amazon for really coming to my rescue. I just had to prepare physically. I am just so incredibly proud already that this is the way it is and this is the way it looks. I can’t believe this is how it looks.’ ‘Citadel’ will mark Samantha’s first release after her year-long break from acting. Directed by Raj and DK, ‘Citadel’ is the Indian adaptation of the international series bearing the same name.
