Prime Video has confirmed the Indian series set in the Citadel universe, featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan, will be named Citadel: Honey Bunny. A clip from the Prime Video event in Mumbai depicts host-filmmaker Karan Johar jokingly objecting as Samantha Ruth attempted to touch his feet on stage, with Varun and the director duo Raj and DK (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK) by their side.
The incident sparked a lighthearted exchange between Karan Johar and actor Varun Dhawan. Following Karan’s playful refusal of Samantha’s gesture, Varun quipped, “I believe everyone should touch Karan’s feet” to which Karan amusingly responded, “I don’t want to be reminded of my age. I’ve finally overcome my midlife crisis. Please spare me.”
Varun then remarked, “You all don’t realize how old Karan is because he’s got a great dermatologist.” Karan retorted, “Plenty of people have undergone cosmetic procedures, but I’m not one of them.”
In its second-ever India showcase, Prime Video unveiled a lineup of 40 original titles, comprising a diverse range of films and shows in various languages and genres, alongside 29 licensed movies spanning Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Among the newly announced offerings was the eagerly anticipated show Citadel: Honey Bunny starring Samantha and Varun. Additionally, titles like Ananya Panday’s Call Me Bae, Bhumi Pednekar’s Daldal, and films such as Abhishek Bachchan’s Be Happy and Anil Kapoor’s Subedar were revealed.
The event saw the presence of a star-studded lineup including Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Varun Dhawan, Ananya Panday, Pankaj Tripathi, Manoj Bajpayee, as well as renowned filmmakers Farhan Akhtar, Vikramaditya Motwane, Raj Nidimoru, Krishna DK, Rohit Shetty, Rana Daggubati, and many others.
