Scottish actor Richard Madden arrived in India on Sunday, a day before the Asia-Pacific leg of the promotional campaign for his upcoming series "Citadel" kickstarts here.

According to the photographs circulating on social media, the "Game of Thrones" star left from Mumbai's Kalina Airport in the morning. Richard, dressed in black and sunglasses, was accompanied by his security team.

In Prime Video's spy thriller series "Citadel", the 36-year-old actor co-stars with Indian actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas as elite intelligence agents Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh.

Priyanka, 40, arrived in India on Friday with her husband-singer Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas.

The story of "Citadel" follows Mason Kane (Richard) and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka), who had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives after independent global spy agency Citadel's fall. Also starring Stanley Tucci, the series will start streaming from April 28.

Madden shot to global prominence following his portrayal as Robb Stark in HBO's epic fantasy saga "Game of Thrones". He gained acclaim for his performance as a police officer in the BBC thriller series "Bodyguard", for which he won a Golden Globe Award.
