Punjabi singer-actor Parmish Verma is stepping into new territory. He is making his OTT debut with ‘Kanneda,’ releasing on March 21 on Jio Hotstar. Parmish sees this as a fresh start, breaking old patterns and changing his work ethics.
For the first time, Parmish went clean-shaven for a role. Initially hesitant, he agreed when the team emphasized performance over looks. He believes this change has added depth to his acting.
Making his Hindi web series debut meant adapting to a different filmmaking style. Unlike Punjabi cinema, he had no say in camera angles or cuts. This took him out of his comfort zone, but he embraced it fully.
The eight-episode show blends crime, emotions, and music. With five songs woven into the story, Parmish says they serve as a musical summary of the series. ‘Kanneda’ promises a mix of action and intense storytelling.
His journey on OTT started with ‘Tabaah,’ where he debuted as a producer. Though its theatre run was modest, he always believed digital audiences would appreciate it more. The risk paid off, as it allowed him to show a deeper, emotional side of his acting.
Looking ahead, Parmish is preparing for his next action-packed film. He plans to focus solely on acting, taking a break from directing and producing. With his evolving career, he is proving he’s more than just an action hero.
