Mega Prince Varun Tej is set to make his Pan-Indian debut in the film “Matka,” directed by Karuna Kumar, known for his work on “Palasa 1978” and “Sri Devi Soda Centre.” Produced by Dr Vijender Reddy Teegala of Vyra Entertainments in collaboration with Rajani Talluri’s SRT Entertainments, the movie boasts a substantial budget and high-quality technical standards. Currently in production in Hyderabad, a grand set has been erected for the film.
To mark Varun Tej’s birthday, the makers released a video titled “Opening Bracket,” providing a glimpse into the storyline of “Matka.” The video commences with the protagonist playing music on a gramophone and unfolds into two different timelines, featuring Naveen Chandra as a gangster and P Ravi Shankar as a police officer. The protagonist’s childhood showcases him playing kabaddi, eventually ascending to the leadership of the gambling underworld. Despite Varun Tej not being fully revealed in the clip, his transformative appearance and powerful portrayal of the character are evident, resembling the fashion trends of the 80s. The impactful dialogue “Promise” is the only spoken line in the video.
Director Karuna Kumar skillfully recreates the ambiance of the 50s to the 80s, with the narrative spanning from 1958 to 1982. The cinematography by A Kishor Kumar and production design by Ashish Teja Pulala effectively capture the era’s essence. GV Prakash Kumar’s background score is noteworthy, and the production values are of the highest standard. In summary, the “Opening Bracket” successfully piques interest.
“Matka” is based on a real incident that captured national attention, and Varun Tej will showcase four different looks throughout the film, covering a 24-year span. Norah Fatehi and Meenakshi Chowdary join the cast as Varun Tej’s leading ladies, alongside Naveen Chandra and Kannada Kishore.
