Tollywood actor Varun Tej has faced a challenging period in his career, with recent films falling short at the box office. Hits like Ghani, Gandeevadhari Arjuna, and Operation Valentine failed to resonate with audiences, leaving Matka as a critical opportunity for Varun to make a comeback.
Matka, releasing in theaters on November 14, is a big-budget production with Meenakshi Chaudhary in the lead female role. High expectations surround the film, evident in the team’s active promotional efforts. However, early advance bookings appear modest, suggesting a need for strong momentum as the release date approaches.
For Matka to succeed, a strong word-of-mouth response on its opening day will be essential, especially given the competition from Kanguva, starring Suriya. Box office performance will also impact the film’s potential for a solid OTT viewership, which could open new opportunities for Varun. Matka is undoubtedly a pivotal release for him, and fans are hopeful it will mark a turning point.
