Priyanka Chopra has shared the first photos of her upcoming Prime Video series ‘Citadel,’ which features her as an elite spy Nadia Sinh. The series, set to premiere its first two episodes on April 28, also stars Richard Madden, Lesley Manville, and Stanley Tucci.
The actress shared pictures on Instagram, including her in a red dress pointing a gun at someone. Other pictures feature some action shots, including her co-stars. Priyanka wrote, “First look at @citadelonprime via @vanityfair #CitadelOnPrime." Besides Priyanka, the new stills also show the other characters in the world of Citadel. Actor Rajkummar Rao, who co-starred with her in The White Tiger, dropped red heart emojis and shared, "Awesomeeeeee." Fans added that they were 'so excited' for the upcoming series. One fan commented, "Priyanka is about to slay as always." Another person said, "Excuse me? WHAT!!! It's so good.”
According to reports, ‘Citadel’ is a spy thriller that begins after an organization has fallen, and it is up to the spies to find out why. Priyanka said her character was quite different from her in real life. She told the magazine, “I’m a goofball, so what was the biggest challenge for me was to be really cool. This was physically demanding, emotionally demanding, but it’s such a fun show to be a part of.”
She added, “It kind of blew my mind. This is something that’s never been attempted on television before, and just the social experiment and the audacity of it was just so exciting to me.”
The six-episode series will also tie into the Italian and Indian versions of the Prime Video show. Helmed by Raj and DK, the Indian series, starring Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, is currently under production in India.
On the work front, Priyanka will also be seen in the romantic comedy ‘Love Again’ opposite Sam Heughan and Celine Dion later this year. She is also supposed to begin filming ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ directed by Farhan Akhtar, with co-stars Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
