Samantha reacts to Citadel action director blowing up stuff on set: Let's make it real

Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to her Instagram handle to share a video from the sets of Citadel. Though the video did not feature her, it showed a high-octane sequence being shot live. Based on the video, Samantha also called her professional identity as an actor, "the coolest job ever". 

Samantha's 'cool' job

Samantha's video story from the sets of Citadel featured a video of a shot being taken. It featured a blast of sorts being captured on camera. The frame of the video showed a white room with a shut door and a side-pillar with a table in the middle strewn with items. Suddenly, a blast is orchestrated as the entire room booms. Samantha did not shoot the video in question, but simply reposted action director and designer Yannick Ben's video story from Instagram. Ben is a well-experienced action master who has also won an award for his work in season 2 of The Family Man. Samantha captioned her story, "When you have the coolest job ever" followed by "Let's make it real". 

Samantha and Yannick Ben's longstanding association

Yannick Ben has worked in Manoj Bajpayee-starrer The Family Man 2 which also featured Samantha in the role of Raji. He next worked with the actress in Yashoda. The two have professionally crossed paths once again for Citadel, which involves Samantha herself performing high-octane sequences.
