Varun Tej, a prominent figure in Telugu cinema known as “Mega Prince,” has carved a niche for himself by consistently seeking out unconventional scripts. This unwavering commitment to experimentation continues despite recent setbacks at the box office with films like “Ghani,” “Gandheevadhari Arjuna,” and “Operation Valentine.”
Tej’s upcoming slate brims with exciting prospects, showcasing his versatility as an actor. First up is “Matka,” a period drama set in the 1970s. Written and directed by Karuna Kumar, the film promises to transport audiences back in time.
Beyond “Matka,” Tej has committed to two additional projects. The first, directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, is backed by the esteemed production house “First Frame Entertainments,” helmed by renowned director Krish. This project will see Tej embark on a journey to Korea for a significant portion of the filming, with a targeted schedule commencing in late September and aiming for a swift completion.
Tej’s third venture is a captivating love story directed by Vikram Sirikonda and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. This unique narrative delves into the intriguing concept of artificial intelligence developing emotions for the protagonist. While comparisons to “Teri Baaton Mein Aise Uljah Jiya” have emerged, definitive conclusions should be reserved until filming commences in the USA, following the completion of Tej’s Korean schedule.
With this diverse lineup, Varun Tej appears poised for a prolific year in 2025, potentially gracing audiences with three distinct cinematic experiences. His dedication to exploring unconventional narratives is a testament to his artistic growth and promises to keep audiences captivated.
