Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra’s fans are counting the days to the release of her American web series ‘Citadel’.
The highly-anticipated science fiction action thriller, helmed by the Russo Brothers, features Priyanka alongside Richard Madden and Stanley Tucci.
The Bollywood star, who has made a mark in Hollywood too, whetted the appetite of the audience by revealing that she herself did majority of the action scenes in the series.
“Almost 80% of the stunts on the show, I did myself because I trust my body and my instincts. But I learnt a lot and the action that I have done on this show is definitely very different from what I have done before,” Priyanka told DNA in an interview.
Explaining her background on action films, Priyanka said: “I come from the background of doing action films. I have done action films in Bollywood as well. So I have a lot of confidence in myself when I go toe-to-toe with an amazing stunt team. The stunt team for Citadel comes from the Russo Brothers, who have worked with the best in the business. I learnt a lot from them. I am not arrogant. I don’t walk in that I have done so many films so I know everything. I like learning, especially when someone has more experience than me, I like to absorb everything.”
According to the official synopsis, elite agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka) had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives after the fall of independent global spy agency Citadel. Thereafter, they build new lives under new identities, unaware of their past.
Produced by Amazon Studios and Russo Brothers’ AGBO, the first two episodes of ‘Citadel’ will premiere on Prime Video globally on April 28 in 40 languages, with more episodes to follow.
Priyanka and Madden kicked off ‘Citadel’ promotions in Mumbai earlier this month.
