Actor Varun Tej will soon star in the gangster drama Matka, directed by Karuna Kumar. On Sunday, the actor shared two of his looks from the film, giving an insight into what the film would look like.

Varun Tej’s first look from Matka

Varun shared the first look poster on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “From the depths of poverty to the pinnacle of power, Destined to dominate. In his world, every move is a gamble.” In the poster, he can be seen in two different avatars. The poster is designed like a playing card with two sides.

One side sees him as a middle-aged man sporting salt and pepper hair, while the other sees him in a retro, younger look. Both looks see him smoking a cigar and looking intensely into the camera. The older version looks richer while the younger doesn’t. The table in front of him has a gun on it, apart from decks of money.

Fans were thrilled to see his dual looks from the film. One fan commented under the post, “Look extraordinary ga undhi anna.” Another wrote, “Crazy look.” Some wondered if the film was based on the Matka Kings of India even though the makers are yet to clarify what the film is about.
