The sequel is centered around the village, its rich culture, heritage, and traditions, and how its true saviour Odela Mallanna Swamy always protects his village from evil forces.
The title poster is very creative. It shows the Trishula (Trident) of Lord Shiva who is also worshipped as Mallanna Swamy. The No 2 and the Trident are designed in a way that we can see Shiva Lingam with Vibhuti (three horizontal lines) and one Bindi (vertical line). It looks spiritual.
