The series has already garnered positive reviews, with critics praising the chemistry between Varun and Samantha, as well as the high-energy beats of the song “Tufaan” released ahead of the series premiere. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release, hoping for an action-packed and nostalgic experience.
Citadel: Honey Bunny promises to be a captivating addition to the expanding Citadel franchise, blending Raj & DK’s unique storytelling with the Russo Brothers’ penchant for thrilling action.
