Actress Harshita Gaur feels good that PuncchBeat is being compared to filmmaker Karan Johar's Student of the Year, but says her upcoming show is not similar to the 2012 movie. Some have compared the promo of the show to "Student of the Year", which revolved around high school students played by actors Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra. Harshita simply takes it as a compliment.

"The film is so good and it is good to be compared to it but it is not similar to the movie. It is peripheral to the film," Harshita said in a statement. She feels that any story of a project with a similar storyline of a big hit film will be compared.
