Varun Tej Konidela’s work front
Varun Tej Konidela was last seen in Matka. Directed by Karuna Kumar, the period action drama is set between 1934 and 1988 in Visakhapatnam and is inspired by real-life events.
The film follows Vasu, a young man who enters the matka business and becomes caught in a world of deceit and betrayal. As he rises to become a powerful man, he is betrayed by his trusted associates. The story centres on his journey to reclaim his position and confront those who turned against him.
Apart from Varun Tej, the film also starred Meenakshi Chaudhary, Nora Fatehi, Naveen Chandra, Saloni Aswani, and Jisshu Sengupta in key roles. It received largely negative reviews from critics and underperformed at the box office.
Following Korean Kanakaraju, Varun Tej will next be seen in Bhari. The film's glimpse introduces him as a youngster from a village, with the story expected to revolve around the sport of volleyball.
Directed by Yadhu Vamsee, Bhari is expected to be a pan-Indian release. Anudeep Dev is composing the songs and background score, while Danush Bhaskar serves as the cinematographer and Anwar Ali handles the editing.
