Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu has started shooting for the Indian leg of Prime Video’s web series ‘Citadel’, directed by Raj and DK, along with Varun Dhawan. She recently opened up about suffering a concussion on the sets of the show while filming an action sequence.
In an interview with Miss Malini, Samantha shared that the directors are trying to raise the bar of action sequences of ‘Citadel’ India in comparison to their previous hit series ‘The Family Man’. Samantha played one of the lead antagonists in the second season of the show.
‘We are definitely pushing the bar from Raji from The Family Man and we can’t do the same action, people won’t enjoy it. It has to be a notch higher, I know it, they (Raj and DK) know it. We all are a bit crazy. We do not know when to tell each other to stop, we just keep going on. It’s a circus,’ she said.
Samantha also recalled that she had a concussion on sets and forgot everyone’s name for two-three hours.
‘To Raj, I was like, ‘Wait let me check my phone, what is his name?’ I haven’t had a concussion before, I didn’t know how it felt but I went back and shot after a few hours,’ she said.
Earlier, Samantha said she joined the cast of Citadel (India) ‘in a heartbeat’ when Raj and DK approached her. Her statement read, ‘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.’
The Indian installment of Citadel is yet to be named.
Meanwhile, Russo Brothers’ Citadel, starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, will start streaming on Prime Video on April 28.
