The highly anticipated trailer for the period crime-action drama ‘MATKA’ has dropped, setting the stage for an intense cinematic experience. Featuring Southern star Varun Tej alongside Meenakshi Chaudhary and Nora Fatehi, the trailer has created a buzz, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its release on November 14, 2024.
Set against the gritty backdrop of the infamous Matka gambling empire, ‘MATKA’ transports viewers to the late 1960s and 70s, an era ruled by the legendary Matka King. Directed by Karuna Kumar and produced by Vijender Reddy Teegala and Rajani Talluri, the film traces the meteoric rise of Vasu, a charismatic anti-hero portrayed by Varun Tej, who ascends from humble beginnings to become a gambling magnate between 1958 and 1982.
As Vasu’s power intensifies, he becomes locked in a battle with the underworld mafia, while the Indian government hunts him down, exploring themes of ambition, morality, and authority.
The trailer promises high-stakes drama, with powerful visuals and gripping dialogues, including one of Vasu’s iconic lines:
“Angutha leke chhod dun main koi Dronacharya nahi – Vasu hun Matka King,”
and another powerful moment:
“Tum jaise achche logon ki wajah se barish ho rahi hai – fasal ugg rahi hai, aur mere jaise logon ki wajah se dus logon ka paet bhar raha hai – nature balance.”
These lines encapsulate the essence of Vasu’s unyielding philosophy, making the film’s world both ruthless and compelling.
With a strong cast led by Varun Tej, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and Nora Fatehi, ‘MATKA’ is set to be a pan-India hit. Aneesh Dev of Wide Angle Media, who is handling the Hindi distribution, is optimistic about the film’s success: “The film has already gained a significant amount of attention and is resonating with audiences due to its unique subject matter. With the combined star power of the cast, I am confident MATKA will be well-received across India.”
The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, ensuring a widespread audience reach. ‘MATKA’ is set to deliver an electrifying performance from Varun Tej, blending period glamour, intense drama, and gritty storytelling.
