Filmmakers Raj and DK have crafted ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, the Indian adaptation of the Russo Brothers’ ‘Citadel’, which originally starred Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra. At the teaser launch event in Mumbai, the duo shared how the Russo Brothers were involved in the project, while still ensuring they maintained their distinct creative voice throughout the collaboration.
Raj shared, “This is our first collaboration, and we’ve always been fiercely independent filmmakers. From our start with ‘99’, we’ve only created what we write, direct, and produce. We value the freedom to make what we believe in, without external pressure, and we’re glad we maintained that throughout this project.”
Raj recalled their first meeting with Anthony and Joseph Russo, saying, “We were thrilled to be offered ‘Citadel India’. When we met the Russo Brothers in the US, it felt like a major conference, with episodes laid out for discussion. They were incredibly gracious, collaborative, and open throughout the process.”
