Actress Sameksha, who essayed the role of Queen Olympias in Porus, will play the lead antagonist in the upcoming supernatural family drama show Tantra. She will be seen performing black magic in Tantra.

Sameksha said in a statement: "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 touch and is a strong character. It will add to the glam quotient."
