Samantha Ruth Prabhu has talked about working on ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, an Indian adaptation of American series ‘Citadel’. The actress said she was at her weakest while she was training and that her strength fell by 50 per cent.
“I was at my weakest while training for ‘Citadel’. Additionally, I had to maintain a calorie deficit because I was trying to give my body enough time to heal.”
“My strength fell by 50 per cent. It was a long process and it was quite difficult,” said Samantha, who took a year’s break as she was diagnosed with the auto-immune disease Myositis.
‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ is created by Raj & Dk. It also stars Sikandar Kher, Kay Kay Menon, Saqib Saleem and Emma Canning.

In 1984, a gas leak broke out at an Indian factory and led to the eventual deaths of over 15,000 people.
Despite its colossal effects, the Bhopal gas tragedy has rarely been depicted on-screen until now. Netflix and Yrf Entertainment’s “The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984” directed by Shiv Rawail, puts a spotlight on the horrific night of December 2, 1984, when infrastructure and bureacracy paid the price of thousands of human lives.
The gas leak occurred at a pesticide factory just outside city limits, where a tank of methyl isocyanate (Mic) was exposed to water, which led to a rapid exothermic reaction. Due to poor factory conditions and maintenance, various safeguards against a catastrophic leak failed, and the toxic gas spread from the factory to the city and the surrounding area.
“The Railway Men” is not immune to waves of melodrama and stylistic flourish, often ramping the tension up...
