Samyuktha Hegde, Anish team up for a romcom

Kirik Party

girl Samyuktha Hegde is back from her Roadies sojourn. She has just signed her second Sandalwood film. She will soon be seen opposite

Anish Tejeshwar

in the actor’s maiden Kannada production. Titled Vasu, Naanu Pucca Commercial, the film will be directed by debutant

Ajit Vasan

, an associate of SJ Suryah.
Samyuktha shares that she did get many offers post the release of Kirik Party, “but I couldn’t take them up due to personal commitments. But last week, as soon as I returned from Roadies, I got a call from Anish. He narrated the script and I liked it. More importantly, Rakshit Shetty, whose opinion matters a lot to me, also encouraged me to take it up,” shares Samyuktha. “The film is a romcom and I play a girl called Mahalakshmi, but in no way does my character conform to her name. She is bindaas and someone who you will fall in love with instantly,” she adds.
Meanwhile, Anish concurs that the day he watched Kirik Party he knew he had found his leading lady. “Samyuktha has an infectious energy and it's hard to miss that vibe. She will be apt to play Mahalakshmi as this is an engaging love story that will also be high on entertainment,” sums up the actor.
