Seasoned actress Tamannaah Bhatia, a prominent figure in the Indian film industry for nearly two decades, is renowned for her captivating performances and glamorous on-screen persona. Throughout her extensive career, she has collaborated with a multitude of stars across South Indian and Bollywood cinema.
In a recent shift, Bhatia has gravitated towards more challenging roles, gracing both digital platforms and feature films. Her latest project, the intriguing “Odela 2,” promises a remarkable departure from her previous portrayals.
To commemorate the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri, the makers of “Odela 2” unveiled the highly anticipated first look featuring Bhatia. In a complete subversion of her usual characters, Bhatia embodies the role of Shiva Shakti. The actress underwent a dramatic transformation to inhabit this distinct character. Clad in the attire of a Naga Sadhu, she is depicted with flowing tresses, a sacred staff in one hand, and a damaru (drum) in the other.
The stark yellow and saffron markings on her forehead further accentuate the spiritual essence of the character. The first look portrays Bhatia deeply immersed in her role, strolling along the ghats of Kashi, a holy city revered by devotees of Lord Shiva.
This radical makeover has garnered immense praise from audiences across the country. The impactful first look has heightened anticipation for the film. “Odela 2” is a collaborative effort between Madhu Creations and Sampath Nandi Teamworks, with Ashok Teja at the helm as director.
It serves as the sequel to the highly successful OTT release, “Odela Railway Station,” originally conceived by Sampath Nandi. Filming for “Odela 2” commenced recently in Kashi. While details concerning the supporting cast and crew are yet to be revealed, the project has already captured the imagination of fans with Tamannaah Bhatia’s captivating transformation.
