Samantha Ruth Prabhu Recalls Filming Citadel: Honey Bunny Action Scenes Despite Health Issues: ‘Had an Infusion in the Morning’ | Web series

Samantha on filming despite health problems

When asked how difficult it was to shoot action films for “Citadel” when she was diagnosed with myositis, the actress said: “When I see it, I can’t even believe I actually did it. There were times when I would get an IV in the morning and shoot something in the afternoon. So it was pretty intense every day. I don’t know if the rest of the crew knew about it. There were days when I was sick in the morning and Raj would come and say, “Are you sure you can shoot?” I would think, “I don’t think I can shoot today.” But somehow I just don’t know that I did it.”
