Prime Video on Tuesday unveiled a gripping trailer for Vijay Varma-starrer Matka King.

It is created and written by Abhay Koranne and created, written and directed by Nagraj Popatrao Manjule.

Matka King will premiere this April.
The trailer takes us to the world of Brij Bhatti, a cotton trader in post-Independence Bombay. Bhatti dreams big and wants to lead a successful life. Driven by ambition, he builds a powerful gambling empire, Matka. But every high-stakes decision comes with risks and consequences. Will Bhatti have to pay the price of his ambition and power? Will his empire survive or have a downfall? For that, we have to wait till April 17, when the series arrives on Prime Video.
Like his previous outings, Varma is expected to serve something fresh this time as well. The show explores the themes of identity, secrecy, and control.

Vijay Varma said working on Matka King has been an "exhilarating journey." "Bringing this world and this character to life was both challenging and deeply fulfilling, especially in the backdrop of a different era altogether that I had never explored before. At its heart, Matka King is a story of ambition, power, and the price one pays for success, which I feel is universal," he added.
Vineet Kumar Singh, Bharat Jadhav, Girish Kulkarni, Jamie Lever, Kishore Kadam and Cyrus Sahukar, among others, are also part of the cast.
