Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who was last seen in the 2023 romantic drama Kushi and the high-profile web series Citadel: Honey Bunny, had pinned high hopes on the latter to mark her significant presence in the streaming space. Despite being backed by acclaimed creators Raj & DK—known for the success of The Family Man—Citadel: Honey Bunny failed to resonate with audiences and critics alike.
The series, which featured Samantha alongside Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan, struggled with pacing issues and lacked emotionally compelling storytelling, which diluted its overall impact. While the show was initially expected to be renewed for another season, recent industry buzz suggests that Prime Video has opted to cancel future installments due to underwhelming reception and viewership.
Samantha had invested considerable effort in the project, undertaking extensive travel for filming and promotional activities, and performing demanding action sequences. However, the series’ lukewarm response appears to have been a disappointment for both lead actors, including Varun Dhawan, who was reportedly dissatisfied with the outcome.
This development comes at a time when audience interest in long-form web content seems to be waning. With growing viewer fatigue and an increasingly selective streaming audience, even well-mounted projects are finding it difficult to sustain engagement.
Despite the setback, Samantha is actively reviewing new scripts and is reportedly preparing for a strong comeback in Tollywood. Her resilience and commitment to versatile roles continue to make her one of the most anticipated actors in the South Indian film industry.
