Nikhil Bhambri starrer 'Puncchbeat' season 2 has been receiving good reviews, but it wasn't an easy shoot for the cast especially Nikhil Bhambri. Not only was it sub-zero temperatures when they were shooting, but Nikhil was also slapped over 30 times by Mrinmai Kolwalkar for a particular shot.

Talking about the same Nikhil Bhambri said, `Though I enjoyed my time during the shoot, there was 1 day which was very difficult. In a scene, Mrinmai Kolwalkar had to slap me, however, due to the continuous retakes my cheek was red at the end of the scene. To top it up, it was a mid-night shoot and the temperatures were below sub-zero as were shooting in Uttarakhand.`

Adding further he said, `We gave almost over 30 takes for this one short, every time something or the other would go wrong. To get the scene right I had told her to keep it real so that my reaction comes naturally. She was apologetic by the end of it, but all these things are a part and parcel of shoots and was taken in good spirits. Once the shoot was done the entire team sat together and had a good laugh at it.`

Apart from Puncchbeat season 2, Nikhil is shooting for something exciting which will soon be announced.
