Samantha Ruth Prabhu, known for her dedication and love for action-packed roles, has shared a shocking revelation about her experience while shooting the upcoming Amazon web series Citadel: Honey Bunny. Directed by Raj & DK, the show marks her reunion with the celebrated duo, following their successful collaboration in The Family Man. Citadel: Honey Bunny is an intense, high-octane spy thriller, where Samantha took on the challenge of performing many of her own stunts. But the commitment to her role came with a significant downside—a serious concussion.
In a candid interview with Galatta India, Samantha recounted the unsettling experience, explaining how she suffered a head injury during the shoot. “I had a concussion, and I forgot the names after that. I completely blanked out. That was quite something,” she recalled, revealing the alarming effects of the injury.
The actor then lightheartedly added, “Now that I think of it, nobody took me to the hospital. Nobody asked me.” This humorous remark, though, underscores the intensity of the situation. Writer Sita Menon, who was also present during the interview, quickly clarified that they had a doctor on call at all times during the shoot, but Samantha’s memory of the incident is likely hazy due to the severity of her concussion.

Samantha is no stranger to physically demanding roles. The spy thriller is packed with action sequences, and the actor embraced the challenge, doing much of her own stunt work. The dedication she brings to her characters was evident in The Family Man, and Citadel: Honey Bunny promises to raise the bar even higher.
While fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Citadel: Honey Bunny, Samantha’s story has sparked conversations around the risks actors take in action-driven films and series. Despite the challenges, Samantha continues to push boundaries in the industry, showcasing not just her acting talent but also her physical prowess.
The upcoming series is set to be one of the most anticipated releases on Amazon, with viewers excited to see Samantha in another high-energy performance under the direction of Raj & DK.
