Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who made head-turning appearances, also struck a pose for the paps. The Citadel: Honey Bunny duo mesmerized fans with their red-carpet chemistry. However, a viral clip shows Samantha happily posing for the cameras when Varun suddenly stepped in and guided her away.

In the video, Varun can be seen gently tapping Samantha's waist and gesturing for her to follow him inside without making direct contact. The exact reason behind Varun interrupting Samantha's photo session remains unclear.
