Varun Tej Konidela's latest movie, Matka, which hit theaters on November 14, 2024, is now gearing up for its OTT debut after a 21-day theatrical window.
Directed by Karuna Kumar, the period action thriller is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on December 5, 2024.

Matka focuses on the story of Vasu, a man striving to rise from poverty and become prominent in the gambling world. Set between 1958 and 1982 in Visakhapatnam, the movie showcases 24 years of the gambler’s life and his transformation into a gangster.
The film is based on real-life Matka gambler Ratan Khetri and true incidents from the Matka gambling world, also known as satta. This betting and lottery-type gambling originated before the Partition of India and was later declared illegal in the country.
The film showcased Varun Tej in varying looks as he navigated the crime-filled world, including an aged appearance toward the end. Alongside Varun, the movie featured Meenakshi Chaudhary and Nora Fatehi as the leading ladies.
The cast also included Saloni Aswani, Satyam Rajesh, P. Ravi Shankar, Kishore, Naveen Chandra, Ajay Ghosh, and more in key roles. While Varun’s performance was widely praised, the film received mixed reviews from critics for its narration and ultimately underperformed at the box office.
Varun Tej's 14th film venture, Matka, featured music composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar and was released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Furthermore, Varun Tej is expected to collaborate with Krishnarjuna Yudham fame Merlapaka Gandhi for his next project. However, according to a report by 123 Telugu, the box office failure of Matka has led the film’s producer to reconsider backing the project, though no official confirmation has been made yet.
