MUMBAI: Making Olympia's character a hit with her peculiar accent in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's global mega series Porus, actress Sameksha will step in a new territory playing a negative character for the first time in Siddharth's supernatural family drama Tantra, that has an exciting ensemble of actors.

The actress has had a successful career down South with over 20 films and a variety of shows on television. She will be seen performing black magic in Tantra as the lead antagonist. Sameksha excitedly shares, ‘I'm glad this role came along. I feel it's a challenge because there is a lot attached to the word witch. My role has been designed to give a modern edge and has a strong character. It will add to the glam quotient. I'm excited to be associated with Siddharth for the second time in a row. His vision is unparalleled.’
