The online series Matka King, which Vijay Varma just finished, is now complete. Everyone was captivated by the Instagram story, which concluded with a cake in the form of a matka. However, there's a full backstory. What does Matka King stand for? Learn more about...

What is Vijay Varma’s Matka King based on?

Since this matka is anything but traditional, don't use the common name. The term "matka" in this context refers to a cotton merchant who initiates a gambling game known as Matka, not to the clay pot. The program, which takes place in the 1960s, centers around predicting the opening and closing prices of cotton. The primary focus is on the New York Cotton Exchange and the Bombay Cotton Exchange. The matka was designed to draw random slips from the system. The series examines how every man participated in the gamble during the era when the wealthy and powerful dared to do so. Before the stock markets and Harshad Mehta's tale, which Pratik Gandhi-Hansal Mehta recounted in Scam 1992, the matka system held sway.

A similar project in Tollywood

Interestingly, A Telugu drama is also based on the Matka system. The gambling culture of the 1950s to 1980s will be examined in this movie, which stars Varun Tej. Karuna Kumar directs the film.
