The trailer for the spy-thriller series Citadel, which was released recently, sees Priyanka Chopra Jonas engaging in heavy-duty action, as she plays a spy, along with Richard Madden. The trailer, which is over two minutes long, starts off a montage of fast cuts. With generous Dutch tilt shots, it has Jonas indulging in sequences involving gun fights and chase scenes. The show tells the story of the eponymous independent global spy agency, which gets destroyed by operatives of a powerful syndicate. Jonas said she had a great collaborator in Madden. “We dance really well together. And this was just a really ambitious show. If we didn’t have each other understanding what the other needed, this would have been hard to do.”
