The makers of Matka King unveiled the trailer today in presence of the cast at an event in the city. It takes us back to the Bombay of 60s and the gambling world and shows how hope and luck can turn around a person’s life.
The trailer offers a glimpse into a gripping saga set in the rapidly transforming Bombay of the 1960s, where one ambitious cotton trader dares to defy the odds, building a bold new gambling empire known as ‘Matka’ and turning an exclusive pastime of the elite into a nationwide phenomenon.
The story dives into the world of Brij Bhatti (Vijay Varma), a sharp, enterprising cotton trader who dreams of a better life in post-Independence Bombay of the 1960s. With one bold idea, he turns gambling from an elite pastime into something huge, giving birth to ‘Matka’. But the higher the stakes, the darker the consequences. What starts as a dream could shatter everything. Fast-paced and gripping, the trailer sets up a story of ambition, power, and the price of it all, leaving you with one question: will the Matka King’s dream pay off, or come crashing down?
Matka King features Vijay Varma in the titular role, alongside Kritika Kamra, Sai Tamhankar, Siddharth Jadhav, Bhupendra Jadawat, and Gulshan Grover in lead roles. Supporting them in pivotal roles are Bharat Jadhav, Girish Kulkarni, Jamie Lever, Kishor Kadam, Cyrus Sahukar, Arpita Sethiya, Sambhaji Tangade, Ishtiyak Khan, Sanjivv Jotangia, and Simran Ashwini.
Talking about his role, Vijay Varma said, “Working in Matka King has been an exhilarating journey. Bringing this world and this character to life was both challenging and deeply fulfilling, especially in the backdrop of a different era altogether that I had never explored before. Also, returning to a Prime Original after Dahaad and Mirzapur is splendid. Our creators, Nagraj Manjule and Abhay Koranne, gave me the creative freedom to dive deep into Brij’s world, and working alongside talented co-stars such as Kritika, Sai, and Gulshan Grover, and the entire cast, made it all the more rewarding. At its heart, Matka King is a story of ambition, power, and the price one pays for success, which I feel is universal, and will therefore be an engaging watch for audiences in India and around the world. I can’t wait for viewers to experience it when the series premieres on Prime Video on April 17.
