Varun Tej is currently having a disastrous phase in his career, scoring consecutive flops. His last theatrical release, Operation Valentine (2024), was an outright box-office bomb. He’ll be next seen in an action drama film titled ‘Matka’. Directed by Karuna Kumar, it features Meenakshi Chaudhary and Nora Fatehi as female leads.
Besides, Varun is very likely to reunite with filmmaker Shekhar Kammula, according to a reliable source. The duo’s first collaboration, Fidaa (2017), emerged as a classic blockbuster at the box office. So the reunion of this actor-director will surely create buzz.
The project is reportedly in the discussion phase and will take time to materialise and go on floors. Also, Kammula is busy working with Kubera, an action drama film starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna Akkineni in lead roles. It features Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead.
