Citadel, the first instalment of The Russo Brothers-backed spy universe starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden has been making waves. Now, fans are convinced that Samantha who plays the lead role in the Indian version of the show alongside Varun Dhawan has a connection with Priyanka’s character.
A fan theory stating that the Indian instalment is set in the past era and Samantha is playing the role of Priyanka’s mother has been garnering attention. And now, it looks like the theory is correct. As per reports in a leading news portal, Samantha has confirmed that she is playing the mother of Priyanka Chopra’s Nadia Singh. However, since the two versions are set at different times, the two won’t meet onscreen and haven’t shot together for any scenes.
An episode does have a brief voice-over of Varun Dhawan who reportedly plays Nadia’s father Rahi Gambhir in Citadel.
Filming for Citadel India is currently underway. The Samantha and Varun Dhawan-starrer directed by Raj and DK will be a whole new story. The franchise also has an Italian version.
