Samantha Ruth Prabhu has sparked dating rumours with Citadel director Raj Nidimoru after posting a photo of them holding hands at a pickleball tournament. The two have worked together on projects like The Family Man 2 and Citadel: Honey Bunny, fueling speculation about a deeper connection. While neither has confirmed a romance, the photo has fans questioning if there's more to their relationship beyond work.

Citadel: Honey Bunny, starring Varun Dhawan and Samantha is the Indian leg of the larger spy universe created by the Russo Brothers. They have an Italian chapter as well, called Citadel: Diana. Creators Anthony Russo, Angela Russo-OTST and David Weil sat down with Mid-day's Mayank Shekhar to talk about their spy universe and India connect. Anthony Russo, who has also produced Extraction, revealed his love for Kundalini Yoga, and how India's love for the Marvel films was a huge motivator for them to explore cinema in this country.
