Varun Dhawan is all set to make his OTT debut with ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu. The series, a spinoff of the American ‘Citadel’ series featuring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, will start streaming on November 7, 2024. Recently, Varun appeared on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ to promote the series, sharing a funny memory from the ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ days with Amitabh Bachchan.
When Varun Dhawan was intimidated by Amitabh Bachchan
In the video clip, Varun recalled, “Main chota tha toh aapne ghar pe bulaya tha bhojan ke liye Bade Miyan Chote Miyan ke waqt. Aur main khanne ke liye ja raha tha but aap aise baith ke ghoor rahe the. Mujhe laga main khanna khau ya maine kuch galat kar diya hai cutlery ke sath. Fir Jaya ji ne bola vo aise hi. Vo tumhe nai dekh rahe vo kuch aur soch rahe hai. Tum khao.” Amitabh, visibly surprised, listened intently as Varun recounted the story.
Varun also shared a photo with Amitabh Bachchan on his Instagram Stories, posing alongside series creators Raj and DK. All four looked dapper, though Varun left the image caption-free.
On Tuesday, the makers released a new trailer for ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, which has heightened fan anticipation.

Speaking to PTI, Varun said, “Eventually, it is up to the audience. Everyone has put their best foot forward. I’m hoping this will push Indian cinema forward. I know this is going to do well, and I’m feeling good about this.”
Alongside Varun and Samantha, the series features a stellar cast including Kay Kay Menon, Simran Bagga, Saqib Saleem, Sikandar Kher, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Parihar, and Kashvi Majmundar.
Promotions for ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ have been full throttle, with Varun recently creating a buzz at Mumbai’s iconic Gaiety Galaxy theatre. He shared a series of pictures and videos from the event, where he arrived in style on a bike, sporting a black biker jacket, denim jeans, and dark sunglasses. At the event, he unveiled a massive poster of the series, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
