Varun Tej is generating significant buzz with his upcoming film Matka, directed by Karuna Kumar. The highly anticipated Telugu film has been creating intrigue with Varun’s unrecognizable, retro-styled looks, leaving fans eager for more updates. Recently, the filmmakers finally announced the release date: November 14, 2024.
The official X account of SRT Movies, the production company behind Matka, unveiled a new poster featuring Varun Tej in a sleek, vintage look dressed in a formal suit with a sharp moustache, slicked-back hair, and gold-rimmed glasses, evoking an aura of power and authority. The poster not only highlights Varun’s transformation but also hints at a strong, fearless character rising to prominence from the streets of Vizag.

In their caption, the makers teased Varun’s journey in the film: “From the streets of Vizag to the corridors of Power, Mega Prince @IamVarunTej stepping in to change the game with #MATKA.”
Fans are speculating whether Varun Tej will portray a double role, given a previous poster from August 2024, which featured an upside-down reflection of his younger self. This has fueled theories about the actor’s potential dual characters in the movie.
Matka is rumored to be based on the life of Ratan Khatri, the infamous king of Matka gambling who dominated the underground world for years. The film’s plot is expected to dive deep into the gritty and dangerous world of gambling, power struggles, and survival. With Varun Tej’s intense transformation and the film’s 1970s retro theme, Matka is shaping up to be a promising and thrilling watch for audiences.
In other news, Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi have set social media abuzz with the release of captivating snapshots from their highly anticipated film Thandel. The first song from the movie showcases the dynamic duo portraying the divine couple Shiva and Parvati, hinting at a melodious tribute to Lord Shiva.
