Citadel will mark Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s second collaboration with Raj and DK.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is currently busy shooting for Raj and DK’s Citadel India along with Varun Dhawan. She is one of the highest-paid actors down South.
Telugu star Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s popularity has skyrocketed after portraying Raji, an unwavering Sri Lankan Tamil liberation fighter, in Raj and DK’s The Family Man 2. Samantha is once again all set to work with Raj and DK in Citadel India, in which she will be starred alongside Bollywood star Varun Dhawan.
It’s now being reported that Samantha Ruth Prabhu has hiked her fees for her upcoming projects, owing to her ever-increasing demand after the phenomenal success of The Family Man 2 and her special song Oo Antava from Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa. Even though Samantha’s last film Shaakuntalam miserably failed at the box office, the actress’ popularity remains unshaken.
As per a report in Siasat.com, Samantha has demanded a whopping Rs 10 crore in remuneration for a pan-India project. As we all know Citadel is a pan-India project for Samantha as it will be released in multiple languages. This news has created a lot of chatter among filmmakers and fans alike, according to the report. However, News18.com cannot confirm the authenticity of the report.
Samantha is currently in Belgrade for the shoot of Citadel India. She recently took to her official Instagram handle to share a series of pictures from her shoot. In one, she can be seen relaxing on a cozy sofa, while another captures a mesmerising dusk view from her hotel room from where one can see the huge skyscrapers in Belgrade. The third picture features Samantha dressed in her Citadel character clothes, accompanied by director Raj Nidimoru, on the set of their shoot. She captioned it, “Mood”.
Citadel India is a spin-off of Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden’s Citadel. The Indian adaptation is being produced by Raj and DK. Although this is their first time sharing the screen, Samantha and Varun seemed to have gelled well. Samantha and Varun attended global premiere of the series in London along with Priyanka Chopra, Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci, and Leslie Manville earlier this summer.
