Varun Tej has faced his fourth consecutive flop with his latest film, Matka, which shocked the industry by opening to poor numbers. In its first two days, the film failed to achieve a respectable box office performance.
Industry insiders are openly suggesting that Varun Tej needs to reevaluate his script choices in light of these disappointing results.
His recent attempts at action dramas, including Gandeevadhaari Arjuna, Ghani, and Operation Valentine, have all been unsuccessful. Even his portrayal of a larger-than-life don in Matka failed to resonate with fans and general audiences.
Looking at his career trajectory, viewers seem to prefer Varun Tej in simple romantic dramas or family entertainers. Despite his imposing physique and tall frame, audiences have yet to embrace him fully in action-oriented roles.
It’s clear that Varun Tej needs to reconsider his approach to film selection to better align with audience expectations and his strengths as an actor.
