Priyanka Chopra about Citadel
According to Priyanka Citadel is ‘innovative’ and an ‘interesting experiment’. During a panel discussion on Inside TV’s Best Big Bet, she said that one does not have to watch the American show to understand the local language series stands alone. All the other shows are connected and that’s never been done on television. She called it an interesting experiment for a streamer like Amazon that caters to audiences all around the world.
