The film is based on the backdrop of Vizag. Given that the dateline of the story is placed between 1958 and 1982, massive sets were built to mimic the atmosphere of the 1950s and 1980s. The story is based on a true incident that shook the country. Varun will appear in four different looks in the film, which spans 24 years. He has undergone a total makeover and will appear in a completely new avatar.
The film's soundtrack is composed by GV Prakash Kumar, while Karthika Srinivas R has been assigned with editing, Ashish Teja with production design, and Suresh with art direction. Four action masters have been enlisted for the action scenes. Matka will be released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
Apart from Matka, Varun has Operation Valentine, which will mark his Hindi film debut. Varun will portray an Indian Air Force officer in the film, which is directed by Shakti Pratap Singh and also stars Manushi Chhillar. The filming was completed before his wedding in October. His last film, Gandeevadhari Arjuna, starred him as an ex-RAW officer.
