Matka King Trailer Twitter Review
Netizens flooded social media with praise, hailing Vijay for acing the Matka King trailer perfectly with that magnetic 60s look and unbeatable aura, and calling him the real Ace of the Indian OTT space. One echoed, "Tagline says it all: The king India bet on! #VijayVarma," as a fan proclaimed, "India is definitely betting on the right king…the excitement #Vijayvarma brings on screen is unmatched!" Another raved, "Vijay Varma = versatility ka king! #Matkaking," and one hailed, "Vijay is the real Ace of the Indian OTT space right now!" A fan added, "Its never a hit and miss from Vijay with any project honestly!" while another said, “My safest bet is Vijay ka performance! Such an exciting actor he is."
Speaking about the web series, Vijay Varma, shared, “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.”
