Varun Tej, following the disappointment of his last film, “Operation Valentine,” has shifted his focus to his next project titled “Matka,” directed by Karuna Kumar.
The film has been in the spotlight due to rumors suggesting a budget reduction following the underperformance of “Operation Valentine.”
Now, recent reports indicate that “Matka” is loosely inspired by the life of the infamous Matka King, Ratan Khatri. Ratan gained notoriety in the late 1960s for his involvement in gambling. It’s speculated that Varun Tej will portray Ratan Khatri in the film.
