Tamannaah in the lead role, the film Odela, a sequel to the superhit OTT film Odela Railway Station, was announced and went on floors recently in Kashi. Created by Sampath Nandi and directed by Ashok Teja, the movie is being produced by D Madhu under the banners of Madhu Creations and Sampath Nandi Teamworks.
On the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri, the makers unveiled the film’s first look poster featuring Tamannaah as Shiva Shakthi. The actress transformed herself completely for the character. Dressed like a Naga Sadhu with thick strands of hair, holding a sacred stick in one hand and Damaru in the other hand, with a yellow blob on her forehead and a saffron bindi on it, she looks exactly like a Shiva Shakthi here.
Walking on the ghats of Kashi, she is seen praying to god with closed eyes. This is a complete makeover and the first look strikes a chord. The film Odela depicts the culture, heritage, and traditions, of the village named Odela and how its true saviour Odela Mallanna Swamy always protects his village from evil forces.
The movie being mounted on a large canvas features Hebah Patel and Vasishta N Simha in prominent roles. Soundar Rajan S cranks the camera, while Ajaneesh Loknath of Kantara fame will provide the music. Rajeev Nair is the art director. The movie to have a Pan India release.
