varun dhawan: The trailer of the web series Citadel – Honey Bunny starring Varun Dhawan, Samantha and directed by Raj and DK was launched today in Mumbai. This series, which will be released on Prime Video on November 7, is full of action. Apart from Varun Dhawan and Samantha, KK Menon, Simran, Saqib Saleem, Sikandar Kher will also be seen in this series. Well, this is the first time that Varun Dhawan will be seen in such an action avatar. For this reason, she is thankful to the entire team for casting her in the role of Bunny. Varun told that the character of Bunny is quite different from any character he has played till now. Not only does he lead a double life as a spy, but he also has two different sides to his personality, which has given me the opportunity to do a lot of different things as an actor.

The show is on the 90s so I gave my input a lot.

In the press conference held in Mumbai, Varun Dhawan told that the time frame of his series is much ahead of Priyanka Chopra's series Citadel. This series is based in the 90s and 90s is my favorite era. If the story is based on Mumbai, then Bambaiya is based on Hindi. Which Bollywood song of that time could be in the background of the Saath-Saath series? Be it Subhash Hai or Mere Papa, I used to give my opinion on all the films that we can use this song.

The real setup was for action, not the studio one.

International makers Russo Brothers are associated with this series. There is also Amazon. We thought that everything would be very luxurious, but it did not happen. The shooting of this series has not been done in studio setup but in real location. From Mumbai's Borivali, Thane and Bhayandar to Serbia. I and Saqib Saleem have shot in a dusty place. There was a place where if we made even the slightest mistake, we would have fallen 40 feet, although there were safety nets to catch us 40 feet below, but still there is a strange fear.

Aditya Chopra had refused to make an action film with me

This must have been during the time of lock down. I met Aditya Chopra at that time. At that time Yash Raj Films was making Tiger series. I asked Aditya Chopra why don't you make an action film with a young talent. Why don't you plan an action film with me only? He clearly said that at present you are not in a position that we can give you that budget. I kept thinking about this for a long time. I asked sir on message what should be the budget. What is the budget of a good action film. He wrote to me that a good action film can be made in this budget. When I got the offer of Citadel Honey Bunny, the first thing I asked Amazon about was the budget. After knowing the budget, I was sure that something special would come on screen.

South Indians are giving me a chance in action

There are very few action roles in my career, but now it has started. I have action projects coming one after the other. The special thing is that I am coming from the South. It is the South that is giving me a chance in hardcore action films. Citadel Honey Bunny is directed by Raj & DK. Samantha is with me in this. After this, Baby John will come, in which Atlee and Kirti are associated with me. I am sure that these films of mine will also encourage Hindi producer directors to cast me in action films.
