Samyuktha Menon’s Upcoming Projects

Samyuktha has a full slate of upcoming films. She is set to appear in Jeethu Joseph's Malayalam movie 'Ram' with Mohanlal. In Telugu, she will reportedly begin filming 'Swayambhu', a period action movie by Bharat Krishnamachari, co-starring Nikhil Siddhartha and Nabha Natesh. Additionally, she is cast in Ram Abbaraju’s comedy movie alongside Sharwanand.

Initially it was rumoured that the movie's title was Beggar, however, Vijay Sethupathi cleared the air around it. The Maharaja actor, according to a report in Times Now said, "The Beggar title and poster are not related to Puri Jagannadh sir’s film. It was AI-generated by some fans. It’s not the real title or official poster.” Talking about how the script narration left an impact on him he said, “I thought the narration would take two days, two hours each for the first and second halves. But I ended up listening for three and a half hours in a single stretch. I enjoyed it thoroughly." The Maharaja actor further added, “I have huge respect for Puri sir. I’m more excited than the audience to start working with him.”
