Citadel Honey Bunny is set in the 90s and it comes with less tech savy setting which is opposite of what the Citadel universe is known for. While Citadel takes place in current times, Citadel Diana takes place in the future in 2030. Raj explained they kept it raw, real and got actors who are good with action. He was quoted by the portal saying, “We have a lot of films which use high-tech stuff, so we thought let’s not have any holograms, no gadgets, no crazy communication devices which connects you with anyone across the world or hacking. We took out all of that and thought let them use their guns, fists and one pager is enough.”
Citadel: Honey Bunny also stars Kay Kay Menon, Emma Canning, Sikandar Kher, and Saqib Saleem in leading roles. Meanwhile, Kashvi Majmundar will be seen playing the role of young Nadia, the character eventually played by Priyanka in Citadel. The spin off is set to premiere on November 7.
