The actress starred alongside Richard Madden in Russo Brother’s online series ‘Citadel.’ Days after the release of the show Priyanka Chopra has grabbed the attention of business tycoon and industrialist Anand Mahindra. Mahindra has praised the actress’s performance as Nadia Sinh in the show. He said that the action-packed performance of Priyanka has left him speechless.
The spy thriller has everything it promised to be with the high-octane action thrillers. The fans were going to be hooked and they’d want answers to all the questions on their minds in one shot, which was why this attractive show caught the attention of business tycoon Anand Mahindra.
The Amazon Prime video series dropped the first two episodes for the season last Friday, which is receiving a lukewarm response from the viewers.
Anand Mahindra, in his tweet, said that the first two episodes of the show left him ‘unmoved.’ He also said that Priyanka was a revelation and stated that she can put most of the action stars in the shade. he mentioned, “Caught the first episodes of Citadel over the weekend. Was left unmoved by the typical Russo brothers OTT plot but seeing @priyankachopra as an action hero was a revelation. She puts most of our male action heroes in the shade. Fauji brats are famous for being ambitious & adaptive & she fits that bill. You have to hand it to her: she is living life on her terms & taking on the world, one step at a time. More power to her…”
Apart from that, Richard Madden praised his co-star Priyanka Chopra a few days ago. It’s an inspiration, he said. “We’re fond of fighting each other, pulling our best and challenging one another like the two characters on this show. They’re dancing with each other all the time. Priyanka is so wonderfully instinctual and engaged in everything she does, that makes it very easy for me as an actor to look her in the eye, respond and try to create something honest together,” he added.
According to Joe Russo, the director of the movie has claimed that he has never seen an actress who has equally excited and compared her to Tom Cruise. Russo also said that it needs a lot of physical effort for the production of the difficult action sequences, a lot of planning and training was necessary.
According to the sources, Priyanka Chopra Jonas said that her Prime Video series “Citadel” is the first project she’s done in more than two decades of a long career, where she was paid as well as a male leading actress.
‘Citadel,’ an ambitious spy drama premiered on April 28 on the OTT platform Amazon Prime. Two episodes of the show premiered last Friday and more episodes will follow in the coming weeks. The show is produced by the Russo Brothers (filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo) AGBO and showrunner David Weil.
