Priyanka Chopra reveals she performed with good success in the majority of the stunts in upcoming web series ‘Citadel’, citing her experience in action films in Bollywood. The series, co-produced by Amazon Studios and the Russo brothers, has been generating buzz due to its star-studded cast and high-octane action sequences.
Chopra, who plays a pivotal role in the series, has been garnering attention for her commitment to performing her own stunts. In a recent interview, she shared that she trained extensively for the role, including learning hand-to-hand combat and weapon handling. She also mentioned that the series presented a unique opportunity for her to showcase her physical prowess.
The ‘Citadel’ London premiere saw the star-studded cast gracing the red carpet, with Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan accompanying Chopra. Prabhu and Dhawan, who also star in the series, donned black outfits and posed for pictures with Chopra.
The series, which boasts an international cast including actors from India, Mexico, and Italy, is a global project helmed by the Russo brothers, who are best known for their work on the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. The series is set to release on Amazon Prime Video later this year.
Chopra, who has made a name for herself in both Bollywood and Hollywood, has been a vocal advocate for representation and diversity in the entertainment industry. Her participation in ‘Citadel’, alongside actors from diverse backgrounds, is a testament to her commitment to promoting inclusivity in the industry.

Until one night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Stanley Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent rival agency Manticore from establishing a new world order.
