Saqib Saleem on receiving appreciation for Citadel: Honey Bunny: "Played an antagonist for the first time"

Stepping into unchartered territory and reinventing himself, Saqib Saleem effortlessly plays KD, a terrifying antagonist that’s layered with steely intensity and moral ambiguity, in Prime Video’s Citadel: Honey Bunny. Raj and DK’s unique ability to bring complex characters to life has KD gunning down people with a grin on his face and without a second thought in the latest spy-action series. Competing for Baba’s (Kay Kay Menon) absolute trust and attention to eventually become his aid, KD is out to hunt Honey (Samantha), Bunny (Varun Dhawan), and their daughter, Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar), who are on the run. The relentless cat-and-mouse chase between KD and Honey-Bunny amplifies the thrill, tension, and intrigue of the series, making it unmissable.“It was a delight to have tapped into the potential of Saqib and carve out a new facet for him. He was very committed, passionate, and leaves a mark in every scene he is in,” said Raj & DK.Critics and the audience have lauded Saqib’s performance, describing it as a brilliant and perfectly matched antagonist in the fearsome character of KD, marking a transformative new chapter in his acting journey and earning him acclaim. Fans on social media have been raving about his versatile acting chops that do justice to every aspect of the role—whether in veritable action sequences, hostility towards his competition—Bunny, vulnerability while being berated by Baba, or the no-nonsense shooting spree against anyone standing in the way of his mission.Saqib added, “The appreciation that’s come my way for portraying KD has been overwhelming. I played an antagonist for the first time. While playing the role, the attempt was to capture the essence of the character. Whether it’s his need to be considered worthy by his father or his sheer loyalty towards his family, KD’s journey is a blend of wit, grit, and vulnerability. It’s been amazing to hear that fans are connecting with the character and the palpable threat that KD brought to the story. I’m thankful for the support and excited for viewers to delve deeper into KD’s world and the surprises ahead.”Produced by D2R Films and Amazon MGM Studios, Citadel: Honey Bunny is directed by Raj & DK and executive produced by the Russo Brothers’ AGBO, with Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes from AGBO, alongside David Weil (Hunters) overseeing the series and all productions within the Citadel universe. Midnight Radio also serves as an executive producer. Citadel: Honey Bunny is streaming now exclusively on Prime Video, reaching audiences in India and over 240 countries and territories worldwide.ALSO READ: Samantha Ruth Prabhu on being calm before the release of Citadel: Honey Bunny, I am quite surprised by myself and I think that has to do with life’s experiences
