Actor Varun Dhawan and Samantha are excited about their upcoming series Citadel Honey Bunny, which is created by Raj and DK. Produced by the Russo Brothers, the makers hosted a star-studded screening of the series in Mumbai on November 4.

After the screening where the guests were shown the first episode, Samantha and Varun spoke about the series to ANI and opened up about their experience of working in the action-packed drama.

Talking about the show, Varun said that Citadel Honey Bunny would be a treat for his fans as they will get to see the action of global standards.

“I think North, South, East, West, hopefully, everyone in India will like it. Please watch the show, guys. There are six episodes and we have just shown the first one and the response is just surreal. Samantha and I have worked very hard. The action is genuinely one step ahead of what you guys have seen so far. Hopefully, you will find this on global standards. For the first time, Russo Brothers are making a show in India. Raj and DK have made it. I think it's an action like you've never seen before. You will see never-seen-before avatars of me and Samantha,” the actor said.

Samantha, who witnessed 'good vibes' from the response so far, added, “I am very excited! Everyone has been thrilled with the response to the first episode, and I'm looking forward to it. I think the excitement matches that of the trailer!"

The action series, written by Sita R Menon and directed by Raj and DK (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK), is the Indian instalment of the global Citadel franchise. Executive produced by the Russo Brothers' AGBO, Citadel and its subsequent action-espionage original series span the globe, exploring the story of spy agency Citadel and its powerful enemy syndicate, Manticore.

It will premiere on Prime Video on November 7.
