Is Varun Tej Matka a biopic

Is Varun Tej Matka a biopic. The makers of Varun Tej's latest film, "Matka," have revealed that the movie is based on real incidents. Directed by Karuna Kumar, reports suggest that "Matka" is a biopic of 'Matka King' Ratan Khatri, a prominent figure in the world of "Matka" gambling.

Ratan Khatri earned the title of 'Matka King' due to his significant influence and control over the Matka gambling industry in India during the 1960s and 1980s. He initially worked with Kalyanji Bhagat but later parted ways to establish his own 'Ratan Matka.'

Matka gambling, which involved drawing lots from chits in a pot, was a lucrative business with daily turnovers reaching crores of rupees.

Ratan Khatri also had connections in the entertainment industry and co-produced the Bollywood film "Rangeela Ratan."

While "Matka" is not a complete biopic of Ratan Khatri, it is said to be inspired by some crucial incidents in his life related to gambling.

Varun Tej's performance in the teaser, titled "Opening Bracket," has received a superb response, generating excitement among fans for the film's release.
