After a long wait, Amazon Prime Video announced the Indian series’ name within the Citadel Universe. Accompanied by a poster, the caption read, “Prime Video has confirmed the Indian series within the Citadel universe will be called Citadel: Honey Bunny.”
“Citadel: Honey Bunny has a riveting narrative that fuses the pulse-pounding elements of a gritty spy action thriller with the heartwarming allure of a love story, all set against the vibrant tapestry of the 90s. Honey Bunny is the Indian series within the Citadel universe,” it concluded.
In addition to Prabhu and Dhawan, the upcoming web series will cast Kay Kay Menon, Simran, Sikandar Kher, Saqib Saleem, Soham Majumdar, Kashvi Majmundar, and Shivankit Parihar.
Via an Instagram post, Varun Dhawan confirmed he would play Rahi Gambhir, aka Bunny and Nadia’s father, in the upcoming show.
