Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian version of Priyanka Chopra & Richard Madden’s spy-action TV series, is now available on Amazon Prime Video. The Hindi spin-off stars Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the leading roles. It is enjoying highly positive reviews on the internet. But do you know how much the cast was paid in salary? Scroll below for the exciting details!

Directed by Raj & Dk, Honey Bunny also stars Kay Kay Menon, Simran, Sikandar Kher, Saqib Saleem, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Singh Parihar and Thalaivaasal Vijay in supporting roles.

The word “Citadel” isn’t spoken until the very end of the fourth episode of Citadel: Honey Bunny, the latest entry in Prime Video’s attempt to will an international franchise into existence by any means necessary. It’s almost as if the new show — based in India, developed by Sita R Menon, and directed by the Indian filmmaker duo known as Raj & Dk — is reluctant to embrace its own title, or at least to openly acknowledge its connection to the misbegotten first entry in the series, which debuted to...

To set the record straight, Raj-dk’s Indian avatar of the Citadel streaming on Amazon Prime Video is vastly superior to its original American franchise. And yes, the bright young Kashvi Majumdar who plays Nadia, the character in this prequel who grows up to be Priyanka Chopra in The Citadel, is as good an actress as Priyanka.

Citadel : Honey Bunny is a lesson casual tautness.

Clambering assuredly into the Citadel franchise, Raj and Dk along with their regular script enhancer Sita Menon,deliver a bolt from the brew: the crazily speedy concoction is heady and always steady on its feet.

Many a times, I felt the narration would topple over under the burden of risky briskness. Somehow ,the plot is pinned to a position of unwavering steadiness even when the characters stand on shaky ground.Simran and Sikandar Kher play underdeveloped characters but never allow you to feel their inadequacies.

The Citadel spy universe from Amazon MGM Studios all began with Citadel in 2023, kicking off an expensive multi-series global storytelling event. Even with mixed reviews, the studio invested in creator David Weils vision to tell connected stories about a spy agency in ruins. The first spinoff was Citadel: Diana the second is Citadel: Honey Bunny. The former detailed undercover agent Diana Vavalieris journey out of enemy lines in Italy with the help of the heir of Citadels villainous competitor, Manticore. Met with better reviews than Citadel, it seemed the spinoffs could be the positive reel we needed.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s First Choice For Kabir Singh Wasn’t Shahid Kapoor Or Kiara Advani! ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

Sandeep Reddy Vanga made his directorial debut in Bollywood with Kabir Singh. The film starred Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in lead roles and stirred controversy over its alleged misogynist content. And while we know Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra were approached earlier, scroll below for another pair that was in consideration, but we had no idea!

Kabir Singh was a major blockbuster at the Indian box office. It would be safe to say that the romantic drama grabbed a lot of eyeballs over its controversial content labeled as toxic masculinity, which pulled the audiences to the theatres. In addition, its jukebox, including songs like Bekhayali and Kaise Hua, made it to every playlist on the loop.

Directed by Ram Madhvani

Dhamaka is a stinging slap in the face of sponsored journalism where money and not the conscience, and certainly not the welfare of humanity, guides the television anchor to scream blatant lies. All is well as long as the lies sell. And sell everything for TRPs.

There is a defining moment in this tense tale of the teacher and the ‘taut’ where our conscience-stricken journalist-hero blurts out to his boss, “Yeh sach nahin hai.”

“Haan, yeh news hai,” the boss reminds Arjun.

The boss(fed into Arjun’s phone as ‘Ankita Boss’) is a hardnosed ruthless media vulture played with characteristic spunk by Amruta Subhash. She will do anything to get the TRPs rolling. Arjun Pathak, lately disgraced and demoted, is willing to play along when a vigilante/terrorist/reformer(we can label him what we want...
