Bollywood star Varun Dhawan has revealed that his debut OTT series Citadel <\/em>will feature some unique action sequences and the team will soon travel to Serbia for the shoot.<\/p>\n

The upcoming show, also starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, is the India extension of Prime Video’s recently released global spy franchise Citadel,<\/em> produced by Amazon Studios and Russo Brothers’ AGBO banner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been amazing working on it. We are going to be filming in Serbia. We have a month-long schedule over there with a lot of action. It is a very big series, nothing like people have seen in India yet,” Dhawan, 36, told PTI on the sidelines of IIFA Awards and Weekend.<\/p>\n

Filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru & Krishna DK, who have collaborated with Prime Video on popular series The Family Man <\/em>and Farzi<\/em>, will serve as showrunners and directors on the Indian chapter of Citadel<\/em>. “The makers are pushing the envelope. Samantha and I can’t be doing something mediocre. She is one of the hardest working actors,\u201d Dhawan added.<\/p>\n

Citadel <\/em>was launched last month with an American version, starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden. The Italian installment of the franchise, titled Citadel: Diana<\/em>, is set to arrive next year.<\/p>\n

On the big screen, Dhawan will next be seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Bawaal<\/em>, alongside Janhvi Kapoor.<\/p>\n

Dhawan said he cherishes working with filmmakers who push him as an artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some directors who are on your bucket list. For me, it was Shoojit Sircar (October<\/em>), Sriram Raghavan (Badlapur)<\/em> and Nitesh Tiwari (Bawaal)<\/em>. Some of my best performances come out when I work with these directors as they push me.<\/p>\n

“It is amazing and I feel blessed to be working with Nitesh. Bawaal <\/em>personally is a film I am so proud of. It says something that is the need of the hour,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dhawan’s previous theatrical release Bhediya <\/em>made its digital debut on JioCinema over the weekend and the actor hopes for a warm reception.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels great, it is out and it is free. We were trying to do something in the commercial zone so we can come back with Bhediya 2<\/em>. As an artist, you have to try and do something new,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Directed by Amar Kaushik and backed by Dinesh Vijan, the film is part of the producer’s horror-comedy universe comprising Stree <\/em>and Roohi<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
