Samantha Ruth Prabhu wasn’t the initial choice for Citadel: Honey Bunny due to logistical issues and her limited Hindi skills during The Family Man 2, reveals Raj Nidimoru. While Varun Dhawan was involved early on, Samantha joined later. Raj admits they were unsure if she could pull off the Hindi-speaking role, but were surprised by how quickly she picked up the language.

Samantha humorously responded, saying she was always right for the role but acknowledged her nervousness about speaking Hindi.
