Varun Tej coming up with another daring attempt. Mega Prince Varun Tej recently appeared in the movie "Operation Valentine," directed by Shakti Pratap Singh Hooda. Despite Varun's impressive portrayal of an Air Force officer, the film did not resonate with audiences as expected. Varun, known for his willingness to experiment regardless of success or failure, continues to push boundaries with each project.
Hoping for a strong comeback, Varun now pins his hopes on his upcoming film "Matka." Directed by Karuna Kumar, the film's shooting began a few months ago, with Varun taking a break from "Operation Valentine" to focus on "Matka." The third schedule of "Matka," an action entertainer set against a period backdrop, is set to begin soon.
In "Matka," Varun will be seen in three distinct roles, portraying a 20-year-old, a 30-year-old, and a 50-year-old character. To authentically depict the 50-year-old role, Varun will need to gain weight naturally without the use of prosthetics. This transformation poses a significant challenge, as Varun will later need to lose the weight for the film. However, if successful, this makeover could earn Varun accolades on a pan-India level.
Varun's approach in "Matka" mirrors that of Bollywood star Aamir Khan, who gained weight for his role in "Dangal" before transforming into a six-pack physique for the same film. Varun's diverse roles in his career thus far, coupled with his upcoming portrayal in "Matka," highlight his versatility as an actor. It remains to be seen how Varun will impress audiences with his portrayal of these three different shades in "Matka."
