Priyanka Chopra had confirmed to Latestly last year that she is in talks with Russo Brothers for a project which is of the action kind. She had said, "We are in discussions. We’ve been talking about things and hopefully…it’s not going to happen this year (2019), because I’m going to be committed to The White Tiger till the end of the year. So if it ends up happening, it’ll happen sometime next year (2020), but it is a real conversation.” Recently, the actress confirmed the same on her social media handle. The Amazon series is called Citadel and has Richard Madden in the lead along with her. Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK are directing the series.

Well, that's not it. Citadel is a global franchise. So while there are US and Italy counterparts, Raj and DK will be helming the India one. The filmmaker duo confirmed a lot more than that in their conversation with Rajeev Masand. Here're five things we know about the series now...
#One series many versions
DK explains in Marvel Superhero lingo, "They are making the Avenger, we are making Iron Man, since we are the quirky ones and Italy is making Thor." Priyanka had mentioned in her tweet that 'it will be multi-layered global franchise with interconnected local language productions from India, Italy and Mexico.' The US edition will be directed by the Russo Brothers.
#Common characters spilling
DK also confirms that there will be common characters going from one series to another. But Raj adds here that this is what they are guessing. "There is no concrete plan but yes, we are being told this what the idea is."
#The trigger
DK also mentions that there will be incidents which will trigger something in another version. Raj added here that characters will interchange as well.
#The launch(es)
Raj also cleared that all the seasons from different parts of the world will hit the streamer at around the same time. It could begin with US, move on to India and then have the Italian version.
#The Language
All the parts will have their native language. So Citadel India will be in Hindi while the Italy version will be in Italian. The India part will be written and directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK.
DK at the end jokes that one day they could make Family Man meets Jack Ryan. That would be one of the coolest crossover ever!
