The success of Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian adaptation of the global spy thriller series on Prime Video, was celebrated with a grand bash in Mumbai.
Hosted by the lead stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan, the event at Virat Kohli’s restaurant, One8 Commune, was a star-studded affair.
Grooving to ‘Nain Matakka’
A highlight of the evening was Samantha and Varun setting the dance floor on fire with their energetic moves to the peppy track ‘Nain Matakka’, Varun’s latest song from his upcoming film Baby John.
Videos of the duo’s spirited performance quickly went viral, showcasing their undeniable chemistry and playful camaraderie.
Moments of Gratitude
Samantha shared heartfelt moments from the celebration on her Instagram, including Varun feeding her cake and the two posing with wide smiles. In her post, Samantha wrote:
“A beautiful evening spent with the loveliest people, my heart overflowing with gratitude.”
Challenges Behind the Scenes
Despite the celebratory mood, Samantha reflected on the challenges she faced while filming Citadel: Honey Bunny. She candidly shared her struggles with myositis, an autoimmune disorder, which at one point made her consider stepping down from the role.
“I even requested Raj and DK to choose another actress for the role of Honey. I suggested names like Kiara Advani and Kriti Sanon, but they believed in me and encouraged me to push through,” Samantha revealed in an interview with Galatta India.
A Night to Remember
The event also saw celebrities like Avneet Kaur, Nimrat Kaur, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Gulshan Devaiah joining the celebrations, making it a memorable evening filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt speeches.
Citadel: Honey Bunny continues to receive praise for its thrilling storyline and the stellar performances of Samantha and Varun. Fans are eagerly anticipating what the duo will bring to the screen next!
