Varun Tej's highly anticipated film 'Matka', directed by Karuna Kumar, features a striking first look poster showcasing the actor in two contrasting avatars, representing a young underdog and a powerful middle-aged man. Set against the backdrop of illegal gambling in India from 1958 to 1982, the film is based on the life of Ratan Khatri, the infamous 'Matka King'. The poster emphasizes Tej's intense and commanding presence, adorned in a vintage-inspired outfit, which reflects the film's retro gangster theme. Co-starring Meenakshi Chaudhary and Nora Fatehi, 'Matka' is produced as a grand-scale project and marks Tej's Pan Indian debut. The film promises to showcase the complexities of its characters through various looks and transformations, supported by a soundtrack from G.V. Prakash Kumar. Set to release in multiple languages, 'Matka' aims to recreate the historical essence of its time period with high production values.
