Actor Vijay Varma is gearing up for the release of Matka King, slated to premiere on April 17. As anticipation builds around the project, the actor has shared insights into the extensive time and effort he invested in the film, calling it the most demanding commitment of his career so far.
Speaking about his experience, Vijay highlighted the scale and duration of the project, stating, “There’s Matka (King) coming out, which, I think I've given the most amount of time for any project in my entire life. We shot it for over the span of 10 months, and the prep was around two months. One year went into just being in this character and I wasn't doing anything else in the middle so, no other project. So I spent a year shooting this and I've been in touch with the people for dubbing for including how we're releasing it. So, two years has Matka (King) has consumed me.”
Over the years, Vijay Varma has built a diverse filmography with projects like Gully Boy, Mirzapur, Dahaad, and Darlings, where he has taken on varied roles across genres. With Matka King, the actor appears to have taken a more immersive approach, dedicating a significant period exclusively to the film.
In addition to this project, Vijay also spoke about his upcoming slate. Sharing details about his future work, he said, “I have another film that I'm shooting with Mr. Sunny Deol which is exciting for me, because he's such an icon. There's a show that I've done called ‘Family Business’ with Mr. Anil Kapoor that is going to release this year with Hansal Mehta. Then there's another series that I'm shooting presently which I can't discuss right now and some anthology and some more in the talks."
The actor’s upcoming collaborations include working with Sunny Deol and Anil Kapoor, along with filmmaker Hansal Mehta. While further details about these projects remain under wraps, they add to a growing and varied lineup.
As Matka King approaches its release, the film is expected to mark a significant addition to Vijay Varma’s body of work, particularly given the time and focus he has dedicated to the role.
