Samantha Ruth Prabhu begged Raj & DK to let her leave Citadel Honey Bunny; sent Kriti Sanon, Kiara Advani’s pictures
Samantha Ruth Prabhu felt that she would be unable to do justice to Citadel: Honey Bunny because of her health struggles.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu has transformed into an action star, first in part with her Telugu film Yashoda and now fully with the Amazon Prime Video series Citadel: Honey Bunny. The Raj & DK series features her as a spy and sees the actor perform many fight sequences. In a recent interview, Samantha opened up on how she shot the series while battling myositis and even begged the makers to replace her.

Samantha on wanting to leave Citadel Honey Bunny
In a conversation with Galatta India, Samantha revealed that while she was initially excited to come on board Honey Bunny, she later felt she wouldn’t be able to do it. “I didn’t think that a few months later, I would request Raj & DK to choose another heroine because it was not possible. I believe I couldn’t do it because of the circumstances I was in,” she said. Myositis, an autoimmune disorder, took a toll on Samantha’s health, requiring hospitalisation.
The actor said she suggested names of other actors to the series directors Raj & DK, but they did not budge. “I actually sent them Kiara’s pictures and Kriti’s pictures. I remember sending four to them, saying ‘Oh my God, she is so hot. Just look at her. She will be amazing doing action. Please, I can’t do it,” said Samantha, adding, “They said we know them. You don’t have to introduce us to them. We know who they are.”
All about Citadel Honey Bunny
In the end, Samantha did finish Citadel: Honey Bunny, which also stars Varun Dhawan, Kay Kay Menon, and Saqib Saleem. The thriller is a prequel to the Russo Brothers’ Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden-starrer Citadel. It began streaming on Amazon Prime Video last month and was trending as the number one show on the platform globally in its first week. Samantha’s performance received praise from critics and fans.

Amid the Moon Ga Bi scandal, actor Jung Woo Sung confirms his first significant public appearance.
Actor Jung Woo Sung confirms 1st major public appearance amid Moon Ga Bi controversy
Jung Woo Sung will still be attending the Blue Dragon Awards scheuled for this week despite an emerging controversy surrounding his paternity.
Actor Jung Woo Sung, agency, Artist Company confirmed on Monday that he would be attending the upcoming 45th Blue Dragon Awards ceremony this week. The prestigious event that annually honours greats from the South Korean film industry is scheduled to be held on November 29 at KBS Hall in Seoul. The veteran critically acclaimed actor is nominated in the Best Actor category for 12.12: The Day. Having already earned the stature as one of the highest-grossing Korean films of all time, the 2023 film earned several nods across other categories as well.
Jung Woo Sung’s company responds to reports of his paternity reports
The company’s official confirmation regarding its artist’s attendance came shortly after it was reported that the actor in his 50s is the biological father of Moon Ga Bi’s son, who was born in March. The Korean model is in her 30s. Hours before Artist Company assured that the Tell Me That You Love Me actor would still be attending the Blue Dragon Awards, South Korean outlet TENASIA reported that he has been dating a non-celebrity for more than a year. Consequently, the agency released another statement: “The child shared by Moon Ga Bi on social media is indeed Jung Woo Sung’s biological son. Discussions are ongoing regarding the best way to handle the child’s upbringing. Jung Woo Sung is committed to taking full responsibility for his child.”
Meanwhile, addressing reports about his relationship status, the label stated, “We ask for your understanding that we cannot confirm details regarding the actor’s private life, and we request that excessive speculation be avoided.”
Regardless of these explanations, K-entertainment enthusiasts launched a fiery debate surrounding Jung Woo Sung’s paternity confirmation and romantic controversy.
Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi’s ties explored
As for Moon’s response to the issue, she wrote on social media, “When I received this unexpected news, I was unprepared. Instead of fully celebrating the joy of pregnancy, I chose to spend most of my pregnancy quietly with my family’s blessings. That decision was made solely for the sake of the child I was carrying.” As per her Instagram activity, Ga Bi appeared to have been on an SNS hiatus. Her latest post about her pregnancy was shared days ago, two years following the post before that.
Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi reportedly crossed paths for the first time in 20222, resulting in their eventual romantic entanglement. Multiple reports suggest that Moon told Jung about her pregnancy later that year, and the actor positively responded by taking responsibility for raising the child. On the other hand, the South Korean movie star has persistently retained his take against getting married, which is believed to have led to some tensions between him and the model.
