The series features the immensely talented Varun Dhawan and Samantha in the lead and the Kay Kay Menon, along with cast that includes Simran, Saqib Saleem, Sikandar Kher, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, and Kashvi Majmundar. Citadel: Honey Bunny is set to premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on 7 November.

    The trailer is a preview of the spy thriller set against the vibrant tapestry of the 90’s, which features action, stunts, and edge-of-your-seat excitement, all perfectly complemented by performances. 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.

    “Following the tremendous response to the teaser, the excitement and anticipation around the show has been rising every day, with fans of Varun, Samantha and Raj & DK eagerly waiting for November 7. We felt that now is the right time to provide them with a window into the series with an action-infused trailer of the show that captures the incredible world of Citadel: Honey Bunny. Raj & DK have added their signature quirk and charm to this high-octane spy thriller that promises to be a whole new thrilling ride for our audiences,” said Prime Video head of originals India, Nikhil Madhok.

    “Citadel: Honey Bunny is a significant project for us as it has given us the opportunity to be part of a larger, unprecedented world of spies and espionage that has never been done or even attempted before. We have created all our projects so far, but Citadel: Honey Bunny is our first collaboration. And that it is with the creative forces like the Russo Brothers, as well as a host of talented filmmakers and creators around the world, has made this an amazingly valuable creative experience,” said Raj & DK.

    “Bunny is unlike any role I’ve played before. As a spy, he not only leads a double life, but every aspect of his personality has two distinct sides, which was very exciting for me as an actor. Intricately woven into the storyline, his portrayal required me to draw on a blend of experiences and characters I’ve embodied over the years, as well as mentally and physically prepare for the grueling stunts and amped-up action scenes, making it one of my most challenging performances yet. And I am deeply grateful to Prime Video, Raj & DK, and AGBO for the opportunity to bring Bunny to life,” said Varun Dhawan.

    Samantha said, “The opportunity to be part of an action-packed entertainer with a gripping storyline, rich character depth, and intense hand-to-hand combats and stunts that rival international standards, along with the prospect to play an integral role in this collection of connected spy stories, is what drew me to this project. The challenges and efforts required to bring Honey to life have left a profound impact on me, both professionally and personally, making it one of the most significant roles of my career. I’m confident that the audience will thoroughly enjoy this series, not just in India but across the many countries and territories where it will stream on Prime Video.”

    The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Nimrat Kaur, Radhika Madan, Bhagyashree, Subodh Bhave, Soham Majumdar, and Sumeet Vyas whose performances lend depth and authenticity to the narrative.

    &xplorHD has also launched the “UNviralOnlineShaming” campaign to coincide with the television premiere of the movie. This campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of online shaming and the detrimental effects that viral content can have on individuals. Inspired by the poignant story of Sajini in the film, the campaign seeks to appeal to the public on the importance of responsible online behaviour and the critical need to think before sharing content that could harm others.

    Director Mikhil Musale said, “Every casting decision, every location choice was meticulously made. Radhika and Nimrat have done an exceptional job in portraying the true essence of their characters, bringing depth and authenticity to their roles.” Reflecting on the story of the film, Musale said, “The story of Sajini Shinde is one that everyone should know about. The movie is about uncovering Sajini’s truth and the repercussions that were faced by her and the people who did her wrong. The film is a mix of many characters and emotions I have personally seen in my life and it’s something which I truly believe in.  It’s a film that focuses on the real and the staged. I eagerly anticipate everyone’s response as ‘Sajini Shinde ka Viral’ premieres on &xplorHD.”

    The talented Radhika Mandan said ” My character in this movie is a simple girl who is a teacher, a dutiful daughter, a loving fiance whose life is changed by one mere video that goes viral. I consider myself lucky to be able to play this role as through this I can tell the world about it and address this issue. It is very unfortunate what happens to Sajini as in today’s day and age, even the smallest thing, which is of no importance, gets viral and it is essential for us to not give heed to it.  As ‘Sajini Shinde ka Viral Video’ prepares to grace the screens of &xplorHD, I can’t help but feel excited for the audiences to watch Sajini’s story from the comfort of their homes.”

    Nimrat Kaur shared her thoughts saying “My character in ‘Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video’ is one of a cop that investigates the matter and strives to find the truth behind Sajini’s disappearance. It’s a very thrilling character, a woman in a man’s world, a no-nonsense cop who does not let the world take advantage of her gender by always putting on a tough exterior. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the role of Inspector Bela Barot. I hope the audience enjoys watching the movie on &xplorHD as much as I loved playing it.”
