The makers of Matka dropped the first-look poster of actor Varun Tej from the film on Sunday.
“He is here to COMMAND and CONQUER Meet Mega Prince @varunkonidela7 as THE MATKA KING, VASU #MatkaFirstLook out now#MATKA ~ The game begins soon on the big screensA @karunakumar.1 Film,” Vyra Entertainments wrote on Instagram alongside the poster.
Dressed in a black three-piece suit, Varun looks fierce in the poster, holding a cigar and sitting at a table with bundles of cash and a pistol on it. A reflection of the character's younger self can be seen on the table.
Varun also shared the poster on his Instagram handle. “From the depths of poverty to the pinnacle of power, Destined to dominate. In his world, every move is a gamble. #MatkaFirstLook #MATKA,” he captioned the photo.
Recently Varun shared a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of Matka. It featured his co-star Meenakshi Chaudhary and director Karuna Kumar.
Helmed by Karuna Kumar, Matka is a biopic of the gambler Ratan Khetri. It also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary, Nora Fatehi, Naveen Chandra and P Ravi Shankar in pivotal roles.
“Set between the years 1958 and 1982, based on the Matka gambling scams that rocked the country in the 20th century,” reads the synopsis of the film on IMDb.
Matka is produced by Dr Vijender Reddy Teegala and Rajani Thalluri under the banner of Vyra Entertainments and SRT Entertainments. The release date of the film is yet to be announced.
Varun was last seen in Shakti Pratap Singh’s Operation Valentine alongside Manushi Chhillar. Released on March 1, the film also marked his Hindi debut.
