Feature: The State of Odisha has produced ace talent from its tribal heartland — athletes like Dutee Chand have demonstrated the region’s immense potential and inspired calls for systemic support to nurture such brilliance. Adding to this legacy of excellence is Dr. K. Tamanna, a name that resonates not just within Ollywood but across Odisha’s cultural and social landscape.
With over a decade of experience in movie production, Dr. Tamanna has redefined excellence in Odia cinema through his renowned production house, Studio 3Sixty5.

His productions are celebrated for their ability to connect with audiences at multiple levels — from heartfelt romances to culturally rooted devotional dramas — and have garnered state-level recognition, generating significant buzz in the industry and strengthening Odisha’s cinematic identity.
But Dr. Tamanna’s contributions extend far beyond the silver screen. A retired Central Government employee from the Ministry of Finance, he has displayed exceptional administrative skills and an unwavering dedication to public service. He holds the prestigious position of National Vice President Chair of the AIDI Tribal Foundation in New Delhi, showcasing his commitment to uplifting marginalized communities and preserving tribal culture. He also serves as a trustee of Smruti Ra Odisha and the Kalinga Award, and is an active member of the Rotary Club, reflecting his deep commitment to social welfare and cultural preservation.
A man of immense talent, dedication, and vision, Dr. Tamanna is not just known for his name but for the legacy he continues to build. His journey — from a distinguished government career to a celebrated film producer and social activist — stands as an inspiration, proving how one individual can create a profound impact on cinema, culture, and society. With several upcoming projects already generating excitement, he is poised to make further waves in the industry, setting new benchmarks for creative excellence and cultural representation in Ollywood.
