Local productions of 'Citadel' take place in several countries, forming an inter-connected storyline.
'This is a first-of-its-kind innovation in storytelling.'
He further added, “We are extremely happy that Varun Dhawan will be playing the lead role in this super exciting Indian installment of the franchise. With Raj and DK joining Varun in the lead role to create this action-packed spy series, the Citadel India chapter will not only raise the bar for original production in India but also draw global attention to India's incredible pool of creators and talent. We can't wait to share it with our audience in India and across the world.' Creator duo Raj and DK said, “We are very excited to partner with our longtime partner Prime Video to be a part of this global event series conceptualized by two very inspirational filmmakers and creators, the Russo Brothers.
