Just a day after sparking immense curiosity with his post seeking divine blessings from spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Vijay Varma has officially put all speculation to rest. The actor took to his social media stories today to announce that the “something new” he was preparing for is none other than the highly anticipated second season of his hit series, Prime Video’s Matka King.
Yesterday, Vijay shared a picture expressing gratitude and revealing he was embarking on a fresh journey. Fans were left guessing about his next move, wondering which of his upcoming projects was kicking off. Vijay delivered the answer directly from the production office, sharing a selfie in front of the Matka King poster with the caption, “At the office for…”
He followed up with a picture of the script for the very first episode of the new chapter, titled “Season 2 x Episode 1: Ek Aur Baazi”, created and written by Abhay Koranne. Adding a cheeky nod to the high-stakes drama that lies ahead, Vijay captioned the image, “Ek aur baazi ;)” with the show’s title theme playing in the background.
The announcement comes off the back of the massive success of the first season, where Vijay won widespread acclaim for his portrayal of Brij Bhatti, navigating the gritty world of 1950s gambling. His striking physical transformation, retro style, and nuanced performance solidified the show as a fan favorite, making a sequel one of the most awaited follow-ups in recent streaming lineups.
With the blessings secured and the script open, Vijay Varma is officially back in the game as Brij Bhatti, stepping up to place his next big bet.
