Actress Priyanka Chopra is making quite a buzz with her big Hollywood projects. The global star is all set to win our hearts on the small screen as well, in Russo Brothers’ much-awaited–Citadel. Taking a major spot in the series, Chopra will share the screen space with actor Richard Madden, in the biggest global spy thriller. And well, Chopra indeed packed a surprise for us with the first look from the Prime Video series with close to nine pictures.
The newly released snapshots from the series, introduce us to the cast, and their respective roles. Headlining the show, Priyanka and Richard play pivotal roles as the leading spies, working for the organisation called–Citadel. Almost a year in the making, the team shared pictures via Vanity Fair, teasing fans and fuelling our excitement. Some pictures feature Chopra in a red dress, panning guns, and some others reveal the onscreen romance between her and Madden’s character–Mason Kane. The two characters however share a past, a history, which we sure will have to wait to know. Interestingly, both the actors were given the same ground to play equal parts, with elaborate stunts and action scenes to perform.
According to Vanity Fair, the series is slated to release its first two episodes on April 28, 2023, exclusively on Amazon Prime. Chopra’s role as Nadia Sinh is of a woman who is hot but is also daring and great at her job. Like most of her previous roles, Chopra shines out as this confident woman in pictures, assuring the Russo brothers of their decision of casting her. Unlike Chopra, Richard’s character–Mason will be seen portraying dual roles, of almost two different worlds, which will be an interesting key point to watch.
The series also casts The Devil Wears Prada star–Stanley Tucci and The Crown‘s Lesley Manville. The pictures from the series’ first look also give us a peek into their witty, rugged roles that will also help in pushing the plot forward.
