Varun Tej’s Transformation
In Matka, Varun Tej takes on multiple looks, portraying a gangster named Vasu at various stages of his life. The teaser showcases his transformation from a young man to an aging kingpin in the world of Matka gambling. This form of betting, although illegal, has a notorious reputation in India.
The teaser begins with a powerful scene featuring Sai Kumar as the jailer. He urges Vasu to join the elite circle and gain control over a massive share of the world’s wealth, pushing him to abandon a life of hardship. This moment sets the stage for Vasu’s ambitious journey, driven by his understanding of human greed and the desire for success.

Alongside Varun Tej, the teaser introduces Nora Fatehi and Meenakshi Chaudhary, although their roles remain largely under wraps for now. There’s also Naveen Chandra, who seems to play a character that is skeptical of Vasu’s intentions, adding an element of tension to the plot.
