Aditya Chopra spoke about Aditya Chopra 

Let us tell you that at the trailer launch of the web series Citadel: Honey Bunny, Varun Dhawan said, "I asked Aditya Chopra why he can't make an action film with young talents and can he cast me in a film. But he said that he only wants to give me acting roles, not action. But I kept contacting him and then he told me, 'Look, I can't do this because I can't give you that budget right now. You are not in a position where I can give you such a big budget. I kept thinking about it and then later asked him what the budget was. Then he gave me a figure that you need to make something big in action".

Varun Dhawan said this about the series

Continuing his talk, Varun said, "When Citadel: Honey Bunny came, I asked Raj and DK as well as Amazon what its budget was because I had come to know from Aditya Chopra how much money is needed to make something look good in action. I am thankful to him for giving us this platform because it was needed to make the action look big and the actors look larger than life."

Varun Dhawan shared his thoughts about the series

Talking about the series 'Citadel Honey Bunny', Varun Dhawan said, "Bunny is different from any role I have played before. As a spy, he not only lives a double life, but every aspect of his personality has two different aspects, which was very exciting for me as an actor. Intricately woven into the story, his portrayal required me to blend the experiences and characters I have played over the years, as well as prepare mentally and physically for grueling stunts and powerful action scenes, making it one of my most challenging performances to date. I am very grateful to Prime Video, Raj DK, and AGBO for the opportunity to bring Bunny to life".

'Citadel Honey Bunny' will premiere on Prime Video on November 7
