Prime Video confirmed Samantha Ruth Prabhu would be starring alongside Varun Dhawan in the Indian installment of the Citadel universe, the global-event series from Prime Video and the Russo Brothers’ AGBO. The untitled Citadel series based out of India is being helmed by renowned creator duo Raj & DK (Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK), who are the showrunners and directors. The local installment is written by Sita R. Menon, along with Raj & DK.

As previously announced, Richard Madden (Bodyguard) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico) would star in the first-to-launch series within the Citadel universe, which came from the Russo Brothers’ AGBO along with David Weil (Hunters) and premiered in 2023. Alongside Madden and Chopra Jonas, the first-to-launch Citadel series also featured Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games saga). Additional local-language Citadel productions were also in the works, including an Italian Original series starring Matilda De Angelis (The Undoing).

“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,” said creator duo Raj & DK. “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.”
