The post-production works are also progressing at brisk pace, and the promotional activities are also in full swing.
Varun Tej’s Distinct Makeovers
In the latest poster, Varun Tej appears as an older man, holding a gun and smoking a cigarette. The actor attempted something he hasn’t done before for the action entertainer. Matka chronicles the journey of an ordinary man who rises to become a Matka King. Varun Tej will showcase four distinct makeovers that portray the character's journey from youth to old age. The actor exudes vitality as a young man in his teens and twenties, while his transformation into a middle-aged figure is strikingly unrecognisable.
Teaser Highlights Protagonist's Transformation
The film’s teaser highlights the protagonist's transformation, inspired by a jailer's words during his time in prison. Vasu resolves to join the elite one percent who control 90% of the wealth, rejecting a life of struggle for the remaining 10%. Driven by ambition and an understanding of human greed, he sets out to achieve success in a ruthless world.
Matka also features Norah Fatehi, Meenakshi Chaudhry, and Naveen Chandra. The film's music is composed by GV Prakash Kumar, while A Kishore Kumar handles the cinematography. Karthika Srinivas R is the editor.
