Nothing could give us more pleasure than to have her on board.”
We are thrilled to begin production on “Citadel India.” The first leg is being shot in India before moving to Serbia and South Africa. We have an awesome crew and a tremendously talented cast, which makes the creative process all the more exciting.

Samantha said in a statement: “When Prime Video and the makers approached me for this project, I decided to take it up in a heartbeat. After working with this team on ‘The Family Man,’ it is like coming home for me.”
She further says: “The Citadel Universe, the interconnected story line between the productions across the globe, and most importantly, the script of the Indian version, really got me excited. I’m thrilled to be a part of this amazing universe envisioned by AGBO from the Russo Brothers. I am quite excited to work with Varun for the first time on this project. He is someone who is full of enthusiasm and makes you happy when you are around him.”
