Varun Dhawan's debut series Citadel to shoot in Serbia for Prime Video

Bollywood star Varun Dhawan is set to film India's extension of Prime Video's recently released global spy franchise Citadel, in Serbia.

The actor revealed the pending film schedule at the recently held IIFA Awards in Abu Dhabi on the weekend (27-28 May).

"It has been amazing working on it. We are going to be filming in Serbia. We have a month-long schedule over there with a lot of action. It is a very big series, nothing like people have seen in India yet," Dhawan, 36, told PTI during IIFA Awards and weekend.

The Original show, also starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, is created by Raj & DK (AKA Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK) who will direct the Indian chapter of Citadel from a screenplay they co-wrote with Sita R. Menon.

"The makers are pushing the envelope. Samantha and I can't be doing something mediocre. She is one of the hardest working actors," Dhawan added.
