Raj And DK Welcome Samantha To Citadel Cast, Talks About The Show

Samantha is currently recovering from Myositis, an auto immune condition. On the work front, the actress has been signing important projects. Her upcoming project is the Indian installment of Russo Brothers' Citadel. Samantha and Varun Dhawan will play lead roles in the show. In a statement, Raj and DK said, 'We are elated to work with Samantha once again after The Family Man. Once we had the script down on paper, she was an obvious choice for this character. We couldn’t be happier to have her on board. We are thrilled to have started production on Citadel India. The first leg is being shot in India, before we move onwards to Serbia and South Africa. We have an amazing crew and a tremendously talented cast, which makes the creative process all the more exciting.' Samantha, on her part, said, 'When Prime Video and Raj & DK approached me with this project, I decided to take it up in a heartbeat! After working with this team on The Family Man, it is homecoming for me. The Citadel universe, the interconnected storylines between the productions across the globe, and most importantly, the script of the Indian installment really excited me. I am thrilled to be a part of this brilliant universe conceptualised by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO. I am also looking forward to be working with Varun for the first time, on this project. He is someone who is full of life and cheer when you’re around him.'
