All Those Rumours About Matka Are Not True

After the dismal show of ‘Operation Valentine’ at the box office, it started to come out that mega hero Varun Tej’s upcoming film “Matka” shooting is not going smoothly due to budget constraints. However, it looks like all those rumours are baseless if the film’s director Karuna Kumar’s revelations are anything to go by.

Speaking to Gulte.com, Karuna Kumar explained the reason behind the delay of Matka shoot. “In fact, we have already finished two schedules of the film, leading to the completion of 30% of the shoot. However, though we are supposed to go for the shoot now, Varun Tej was requested by the Operation Valentine team to come for a patchwork shoot. That led to Varun trimming out his hair, and now if we have to go for the shoot, he has to grow back his hair. Otherwise, there are no so-called budget problems that are delaying the movie” says Karuna Kumar.

Clarifying that those rumours about cutting down budgets are not true, Karuna Kumar also added, “In fact, we have had a budget on paper, and the final spend might be 10-20% more than that. With the kind of quality we’re extracting from the sets, the producers are also super happy”. Looks like the director of films like Palasa and Sridevi Soda Center is up for a mega project that is set in the vintage backdrop of the 70s.
