Vijay Varma On Having A Similar Journey Like His Matka King Character Brij Bhatti: Believe In Yourself

Vijay Varma is gearing up to impress audiences again as Matka King is set to release on April 17th. His work shows how versatile he is, from the powerful roles in Gully Boy and Mirzapur to strong performances in Dahaad and Darlings. Every role feels different, proving he is one of the most exciting actors in Indian cinema today. Now, as he plays Brij Bhatti, an ambitious gambler who becomes a kingpin, Vijay shares a personal connection with the character.

Talking about the similarities, Vijay said, "I am not from Bombay, so coming here with very little resources and a few friends and with the ambition and a dream to become an actor and to stick by your rules and believe in yourself when nobody believed in you and to create opportunities for yourself and to grow and to find success. That whole journey has been similar in that way. But of course, Brij Bhatti found an enterprise wherein he was able to do this by making people gamble. I am able to do it by making people watch my work and get affected by my work...But the similarity ends with this, that the guy who dreamt of something and made something out of his life."

This honest statement shows Vijay's real struggle. He came from Hyderabad to Mumbai with big dreams but limited resources, relying on hard work and self-belief. Like Brij Bhatti, builds an empire, Vijay made his own place in a tough industry by taking bold risks that worked out well. But while Brij's world runs on gambling, Vijay wins people over with performances that stay with them.

Matka King could be his boldest project yet which is a story of ambition, risk, and success set in Mumbai's gritty world. With Vijay leading the film, audiences can expect another powerful performance. As the release gets closer, one thing is clear: both the actor and the character show that big dreams and strong determination can lead to success.
