Meanwhile, the upcoming web series is directed by Sairat and Fandry director Nagraj Manjule. It will show the dramatic and dangerous world of Matka gambling. Matka King revolves around the busy streets of Mumbai in the 1960s. A smart cotton trader dares to rewrite the rules. His brainchild, a daring new numbers game, ignites a wildfire across the city, pulling everyday folks into a world once reserved for the elite.

This gritty series dives into the shadows of a city in transition, where fortunes are made overnight, loyalties are tested, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Apart from Vijay, it also features Kritika Kamra, Sai Tamhankar, Gulshan Grover, and Siddharth Jadhav in pivotal roles. It is produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Manjule, along with Gargi Kulkarni, Ashish Aryan, and Ashwini Sidwani, under the banner of Roy Kapur Films and will release on Amazon Prime Video.
