The story follows Brij Bhatti, played by Vijay Varma, as he tries to make a name for himself in a fast-changing city. As his idea expands, he faces rising risks, power struggles, and ever-growing ambitions.

Producer Siddharth Roy Kapur shared his thoughts on the project, stating that the story stood out because of its setting and the journey of the main character.

As per a release, Kapur said, "What drew us to Matka King was the scale and uniqueness of the world it is set in, and the story of an individual navigating ambition, identity, and the pursuit of respect in a rapidly evolving society."

Created and written by Abhay Koranne and directed by Nagraj Popatrao Manjule, the series will be available in India and over 240 countries from April 17. (ANI)
