Tamannaah Bhatia portrays Shiva Shakti in the upcoming supernatural thriller Odela 2, set to premiere on April 17, emphasizing the duality of glamour and strength in women.
Excitement is building among Tamannaah Bhatia’s fans as she prepares to take on the role of Shiva Shakti in the highly anticipated film, Odela 2. This supernatural thriller follows her character, a devoted follower of Shiva, as she strives to protect her village from sinister forces. During the film’s press conference, Tamannaah delivered a powerful response regarding the director’s choice of her for the role, particularly in light of her being labeled a ‘Milky Beauty’.
In a moment that highlighted her composure, Tamannaah addressed a question posed by a female journalist directed at director Ashok Teja, who was asked, “What led you to cast a ‘Milky Beauty’ as Shiva Shakti?”
Responding with poise, Tamannaah stated, “Your question inherently contains the answer. He does not perceive ‘Milky Beauty’ as something to be ashamed of. Instead, a woman’s glamour should be embraced and celebrated. We, as women, should take pride in ourselves. Only then can we expect others to appreciate us. If we view ourselves positively, it establishes a foundation for respect. Here, we have a gentleman who perceives women as divine, recognizing that being divine can also encompass glamour, strength, and potency. A woman can embody countless attributes.”
Throughout her career, Tamannaah has consistently expressed empowering views on women’s issues. Reflecting on her commitment to female empowerment, she shared a strong message on International Women’s Day, stating, “This Women’s Day, let’s honor the strength, resilience, and brilliance of every woman. Embrace your power, challenge societal expectations, and ensure your voice resonates. Genuine empowerment begins with acknowledging our worth and uplifting one another in our pursuit of equality.” This sentiment underscores her advocacy for a more supportive community of women.
In addition to Tamannaah’s powerful message, it has been confirmed that Odela 2 is set to release on April 17, marking its place as a sequel to the 2022 film Odela Railway Station, adding to the anticipation surrounding its launch.
