Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian spin-off of the global espionage franchise Citadel, is a gritty spy thriller set in the 90s. “When stuntman Bunny (Varun Dhawan) recruits struggling actress Honey (Samantha) for a side gig, they are hurled into a high-stakes world of action, espionage, and betrayal. Years later, as their dangerous past catches up, the estranged Honey and Bunny must reunite and fight to protect their young daughter Nadia,” reads the plotline from the makers.

The series is produced by D2R Films, Amazon MGM Studios, and executive produced by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO. Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes from AGBO, alongside David Weil, executive produce Citadel: Honey Bunny and all the Citadel series.
