Varun Tej’s much-anticipated film Matka has turned out to be a major disappointment, falling short of expectations despite the buzz and high hopes surrounding it. The film’s underperformance at the box office has led to a significant setback in the actor’s career, adding to his series of flops.
Due to its poor reception, Matka will now be released on Amazon Prime Video on December 5th, just three weeks after its theatrical debut. While the early OTT release may draw in some digital viewers, it underscores the film’s struggle to maintain momentum in cinemas.
Meanwhile, Varun Tej has already shifted focus to his next project with director Merlapaka Gandhi, hoping that this collaboration will turn his career around. With mounting pressure to deliver a hit, Varun is keen to reestablish his box office appeal and regain the trust of his fans. For now, industry observers and fans alike are looking to Matka’s OTT release to see if it can find a second life with online audiences.
