Priyanka Chopra has revealed she and Richard Madden made a pact to ensure their Citadel sex scenes would look flattering on camera. 

The duo co-star in the Amazon Prime Video thriller series as spies who team up to tackle a global threat.

While there are plenty of intense action scenes in the drama, there are also some sexy moments between the pair which took just as much planning. 

Speaking to ETimes about how they prepared, Priyanka, 40, revealed:  'There are like 2,000 people in the room while we are shooting.' 

'We helped each other out. If I was uncomfortable with some unflattering camera angles, I would tell him "Put your hand there and cover me" and he would tell me "You put your hand here."'

Speaking about their bond during filming, Richard, 36, added: 'I suppose we got to know each other through working together on the script, though these fight rehearsals we'd have to do together, and trying to kind of thread a narrative through this action and try and keep intricacies and subtleties of human beings amidst all of this spectacle that the show has. That just comes from lots of hard work.

'We like each other, so that makes it really easy. It puts us in a place where when we're on screen, we can create and have fun together.'

Priyanka added: 'We were both prep-oriented. We were both really particular and intentional and I was like, "Thank God! It's so nice to work with someone who does that."'

Thriller series Citadel has been created by David Weil for Amazon Prime with the Russo brothers acting as executive producers.

In the series, Priyanka portrays Nadia Sinh, a spy with an affected memory who teams up with her former colleague Mason Kane (Richard Madden) to combat a global threat.

While Richard and Priyanka lead the cast, the series will also include spin-offs in different countries and languages, featuring entirely different casts.

The Italian series will star Matilda De Angelis in the leading role and is being co-produced by Amazon Studios and Cattleya, while an Indian version of the show will star Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

The trailer for the upcoming British version of Citadel, slated for release on April 28, was released on Amazon Prime Video's official YouTube channel last month.

Priyanka's sweet remarks about her co-star come after she opened up about her trouble bonding with people in the Bollywood industry. 

The Indian actress started out as a Bollywood star in the Noughties but moved to America in 2015 when she took on a leading role in Quantico.

Speaking on Dax Shephard's Armchair Expert podcast she confessed: 'I've never said this so I'm going to say it because you'll make me feel safe.'

'I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break.'

Sweet: Richard said of their chemistry 'we like each other, so that makes it really easy. It puts us in a place where when we're on screen, we can create and have fun together'
