Opening up about the debut of the series, Varun said to the media, "Citadel is an exceptionally ambitious and exciting franchise, and to be part of this magnificent universe—conceptualised by the Russo Brothers' AGBO and Jennifer Salke—is a landmark moment in my career. I have been a big fan of their work and I am beyond thrilled to be a part of this project, and can't wait to start shooting it."
