Actress Tamannaah Bhatia is all set to star in Sampath Nandi’s crime thriller Odela 2 movie. The actress' last Telugu film, Chiranjeevi's Bhola Shankar in 2023, failed to impress audiences. But she is looking to change that with the sequel to the crime thriller film Odela Railway Station, Odela 2. 

Written by director and screenwriter Sampath Nandi and directed by Ashok Teja, the movie is being bankrolled by D Madhu under the Madhu Creations and Sampath Nandi Teamworks banners. With Tammannaah now onboard, the shooting for the film has begun. 

Odela 2 movie is a supernatural thriller

Writer Sampath Nandi took to his social media handles to share that the upcoming sequel is set to be a supernatural thriller. “A supernatural thriller killer promises,” he wrote.
