Samantha to play Priyanka's mother
The international and Indian versions of Citadel are set in two different eras. Priyanka's character will only be seen as a child in Samantha’s Citadel and the two actresses did not even meet during the shooting.
A few days back, it was reported that Samantha has given her nod to film scenes in which she will be seen kissing her co-star Varun. However, Samantha and Varun as well as the makers are yet to react to the reports.
Samantha had earlier clarified her upcoming spy-action extravaganza is not a remake of Priyanka's show, dispelling misconceptions surrounding the nature of the Indian adaptation.
Indian edition of Citadel
The Indian installment of Citadel is being helmed by Raj & DK, in which Samantha will be seen packing some serious punches and performing high-octane stunts.
Citadel will also mark Samantha's second project with Raj & DK after being lauded for her work in The Family Man. She had termed the show as "homecoming" for her.
The series has been mounted on a magnanimous scale and it is touted to be one of the most ambitious projects of Raj & DK.
