Samyuktha Hegde, who is known for her role as Aarya in Kirik Party, is set to step into the next phase of her career. After making a mark in Tamil and Telugu cinema, Samyuktha is now making her digital debut with the Hindi web series, Puncch Beat Season 2. “Say hello to meesha you guys. The adrenaline junkie is here!!! Can’t wait for all of you to meet her. Share her to the world!!! (sic)” read Samyuktha's recent post on social media where she introduced her character from the series. 

Directed by Akshay Choubey, the webseries is a teen drama, made under Ekta Kapoor’s production house Alt Balaji. The makers are releasing the trailer on June 11. “Meesha is into mixed martial arts and runs her father’s gym. She’s rich but grounded. Hot, fiery, crazy, she rides superbikes. It’s an amazing role,” she says.  

Samyuktha strongly believes that Meesha was unlike anything she's played till now, and provided a lot of scope to showcase her performance. “I used a lot of elements that I usually do in real life. There’s so much of me in the film because the character is like me,” she says.

Puncch Beat Season 2 also has a host of actors, including Priyank Sharma, Sameer Soni, Niki Walia, Singhuja Thrulapati, Kajol Tyagi, Siddharth Sharma, Khushi Joshi, Anuj Choudary, Shataf, and Nikhil. The cinematography is being handled by Jay Charola. The show will begin streaming on June 27.
