The film will definitely be loved by everyone,” said actress Tamannaah Bhatia
“Greetings to everyone! Director Ashok has made ‘Odela’ brilliantly, and after watching it, I felt it deserved a sequel. When Sampath Nandi sir narrated the idea for Part 2, I found it very exciting. This is not an easy genre to execute. Presenting a rural story in such a thrilling and engaging way is a big challenge. Director Ashok has taken the film to the next level. Every film I do, I want the audience to have a new experience, and this film offers exactly that.”
“Playing Bhairavi has been a blessing for me as an actor. This is the film with the highest number of close-up shots in my career. Portraying Bhairavi as believable, natural, and magical was a big challenge. Producer Madhu has mounted the film on a grand scale. It will be a great theatrical experience, and I am sure it will offer a spectacular big-screen experience for everyone.”
Sampath Nandi (Movie Creator) at the Press Meet:
“The response to the teaser has been phenomenal and organic, and for that, I thank the media, the audience, and Lord Shiva. ‘Odela’ is an emotion for me because I was born and raised in that village. The village is protected by its Ilavelpu temple deity, Lord Mallanna, and the story revolves around how a Naga Sadhu overcomes a major crisis in the village. The film is a perfect blend of content, screenplay, and visual wonder. Cinematographer Soundar Rajan has delivered breathtaking visuals, and Ajaneesh’s music is outstanding. ‘Odela 2’ is meant for the theatrical experience, and I sincerely hope that cinema lovers will watch and embrace it.”
“Tamannaah has done an extraordinary job as Bhairavi. This character was meant for her, it found its way to her. She has been consistently dedicated to her craft for 20 years, which is a rare feat in the industry. The same dedication I saw in her a decade ago still remains. She is truly the Lady Superstar of Tollywood, and I believe she will continue to entertain us for another 20 years!”

Her dedication is truly inspiring. This film has given me a character that I have never played before, and I was surprised by how well it turned out. I hope the audience supports us.”

“We released the teaser at the Maha Kumbh Mela, and the response was amazing. The film is based on a village story, and we have made it with complete faith in its content without any compromises. Every artist has given their best for this film. Once Tamannaah came on board, we didn’t think twice about the budget. She completely transformed herself for this role. DOP Soundararajan has provided stunning visuals, and Ajaneesh’s background score is incredible. With Sampath Nandi’s supervision and Ashok Teja’s direction, we are confident that the audience will enjoy this film in theaters.”

Actor Gagan
“During the COVID-19 era, ‘Odela’ became a huge hit. Sampath Nandi’s vision made it possible. The moment I saw Tamannaah’s poster for ‘Odela 2,’ I knew we had another hit on our hands. Even during the shooting, there was an excitement similar to films like ‘Pushpa 2.’ This film is bound to be a big success and create magic on screen.
