While the award-winning movie star is known for winning multiple best actor awards, she relishes the chance to mix it up in more physical roles, and in a recent conversation with <em>M&amp;F,<\/em> explains how she develops her strength and flexibility.<\/p>\n<p><em>Citadel: Honey Bunny,<\/em> now streaming on Prime, is the Indian backstory to the infamous global spy network, and it\u2019s tenacious enemies, and comes hot on the heels of the original Citadel, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/athletes-celebrities\/interviews\/primes-citadel-diana-showcases-strong-women-in-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Citadel: Diana series<\/a> that have both already proved to be an adrenaline-fueled hit. Beginning her showbiz career as a model, Samantha has won critical acclaim for her performances, but when it comes to acing her action roles, she says she is all-in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is challenging,\u201d says the beauty. \u201cBut, it is also what I have been dreaming of, you know? Because every actor wants to be offered layered and complicated roles to play. So, I can\u2019t complain about anything (laughs), I was very, very excited to be given this opportunity and I think I have made the most of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the show, produced by Indian cinema ground breakers; Raj and DK, Samantha plays struggling actress \u2018Honey\u2019 who is thrust into the world of espionage alongside Varun Dhawan\u2019s \u2018Bunny,\u2019 a stuntman who gets them both into the underground criminal world when a small-time side hustle goes seriously wrong. For her part, Samantha, who is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gqindia.com\/content\/samantha-ruth-prabhu-rejected-this-blockbuster-movie-which-went-on-to-earn-rs-1148-crore-at-the-box-office-find-out-which-bollywood-film-the-citadel-honey-bunny-actress-said-no-to\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one of India\u2019s most highly paid actors<\/a>, had no intention of shying away from the physical requirements on set.<\/p>\n<h2>Samantha Ruth Prabhu Shares How She Beats Up Those \u201cReally Big Guys\u201d On Screen<\/h2>\n<p>Action performances are often underrated because critics fail to take into account the type of skill required to remember lines, hit marks, and make the correct facial expressions, all while gasping for breath because of the exhilarating scene that\u2019s in progress. \u201cI think that now, working with Raj and DK often, I\u2019ve kind of made martial arts part of my daily routine,\u201d explains Samantha. \u201cBecause I better be prepared for anything that they throw at me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Far from take up a short bootcamp before a project, Samantha is keen to stay in shape. \u201cI started out, not being able to like lift my leg up, you know with the high kicks\u2026\u201d shares the star, recalling her limitations earlier on in her career. \u201cAnd then I realized, I\u2019m already small, and I have to beat-up really big guys [laughs], so unless I move\u2014I have a lot of agility\u2014and I can move and make it look bigger, (otherwise) it\u2019s going to be lost and it\u2019s not going to look very real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, her martial arts training has been essential for those strikes and kicks. Samantha has studied Krav Maga, a self defence system that originates in Isreal that uses techniques from aikido, boxing, judo, karate and wrestling. Samantha has even trained in sword fighting and artery in order to steal her scenes. \u201cJust basics, in everything,\u201d says the star. \u201cSo that I don\u2019t look like a complete idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DK jokes that Samantha may be horse riding on her next project, and you can\u2019t rule it out. The actor feels that presenting a strong and capable female presence is a duty. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>It is very, very important,\u201d she says. \u201cI feel an immense sense of responsibility, to portray roles that are close to accurate representations of women in society because, more often than not, we get it wrong with our depiction of women in cinema and series because somehow, a woman\u2019s identity is connected to the relationship that she is in, as opposed to her life, and I love the fact that Honey reflects strength, determination, she\u2019s a warrior, she\u2019s a survivor, she\u2019s a mother, and I think that is close enough representation, because women today are world leaders, changemakers, and it\u2019s time that there is accurate portrayal on cinema as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citadel: Honey Bunny is streaming now on Prime.
