New teaser and release date
The new teaser shows just snippets of action in the usual blue tint, staple of Raj and DK, who have directed this series. Varun and Samantha sling guns, save kids, beat up baddies as a new modernised version of Raat Baaki plays in the background.
The series will be out on November 7. It is executive-produced by the Russo Brothers of Avengers fame.
“Citadel: Honey Bunny is a swashbuckling blend of gritty, fast-paced action and compelling drama with exceptional performances. We are excited to introduce Varun as an edgy action hero, and Samantha has upped her action game to the next level. We are also thrilled to have joined with the powerhouse Kay Kay Menon once again and are lucky to have an incredible cast,” stated Raj & DK. “Ever since the series was announced, we have received overwhelming support and anticipation from fans, and that has been truly gratifying. So, it is only natural that we include fans in our date reveal today. The response to the teaser has been very heartening and we believe it is a testament to the dedication of the entire team. We cannot wait for audiences across the world to enjoy one of our most ambitious projects yet!”
