INDIA: The global star Priyanka Chopra is set to make her digital debut with her upcoming Amazon Prime Video series Citadel. Recently, the trailer of the series bagged huge attention for its action sequences. The show being action-centric, many fans are keen to know about the lead stars’ stunt scenes.
Unveiling more info about the series’ action elements to fans, Priyanka revealed in her latest interview with the media that 80% of the action scenes are done by herself under the supervision of the stunt team.
The Bajirao Mastani actor said, “I come from the background of doing action films. I’ve also worked on Bollywood action flicks. I am, therefore, quite confident in myself when I compete against a fantastic stunt team.”
“The Russo Brothers, who have collaborated with some of the industry’s top talent, provided the stunt team for Citadel. They taught me a lot. I’m not arrogant. I don’t enter thinking that because I’ve worked on so many films, I know everything. I enjoy learning, especially from people who have more experience than I do, since I prefer to absorb everything,” she added.
Revealing more about the action sequences of Citadel series, Priyanka said, “I performed around 80% of the stunts on the show myself because I have faith in my body and my instincts. However, I gained a lot of knowledge, and the action I performed on this show significantly differed from what I had previously done.”
For the unknown, The Russo Brothers’ thriller series features Chopra alongside Richard Madden and Stanley Tucci. It follows a group of exclusive agents, Mason Kane (Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra), who barely remember anything from their past and narrowly escape with their lives after the fall of an independent global spy agency Citadel. Therefore, they re-established their new identities, unaware of their pasts.
Besides this, Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden had kicked off their Citadel promotions in Mumbai ahead of the premiere. At an earlier press meet, Richard said he would be honoured to work in a Bollywood film.
