At the press conference of the show Citadel, Priyanka Chopra Jonas was asked whether she had any advice for her two fellow Indian spies (Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu) who are a part of Citadel universe and are shooting the series currently.

Priyanka responded to it saying, “I don't think I can give them any advice. They are both such accomplished actors in their own ways. There is nothing I can say.”

Opening up on her interaction with Varun Dhawan, Priyanka asserted, “I met Varun recently at the NMACC event and he was telling me how the shoot is going and how exciting it is. There are some really cool threads that connect our instalments. So, we were talking about those. And you will find it out how once you start watching the show and how we are all connected to each other.”

She also lauded the makers of the Indian Citadel Raj & DK and said, “But it is really fun and can't wait to see that because I think DK and Raj the filmmakers are so amazing, they are so talented and that they are going to bring their own spin to the Indian instalments. It’s very exciting.”

Citadel is executive produced by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO and showrunner David Weil. Alongside Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, the 6-episode series features Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville in pivotal roles.
