According to NewsBytes, a significant portion of Varun Tej starrer VT15 will reportedly be filmed in South Korea. The shooting is expected to span a 40-day schedule starting this month.
To prepare for his role, Varun Tej is undergoing martial arts training, focusing on Taekwondo. Although the storyline remains undisclosed, the film promises a fresh approach to the horror-comedy genre. It aims to blend elements of Indian and Korean cinema for a unique cinematic experience.
Varun Tej was last seen in the film titled Matka. The movie received an underwhelming response at the box office and started streaming on Amazon Prime Video shortly after.
Take a look at the post below:
Matka tells the story of Vasu, a man determined to escape poverty and make a name in the gambling world. Spanning 24 years, from 1958 to 1982 in Visakhapatnam, the film traces his journey from an ambitious gambler to a feared gangster.
Inspired by the life of real Matka gambler Ratan Khetri and events from the satta gambling world, the movie delves into the origins of this betting system, which began before India's Partition and was later outlawed.
