Kyunki sabko pata hai ki khana milne wala hai,” tells a sharp and confident Brij Bhatti, who wants to rule the gambling world, to a local money-lender goon. And with this dialogue, Vijay Varma opens the first season of Matka King – a web series directed by Nagraj Manjule, based on the life of Ratan Khatri, a Mumbai-based businessman who ruled the betting world!
Set in the 1960s, the show tells the story of an ordinary cotton trader, Brij Bhatti, played by Vijay Varma, who devises a new way of gambling that takes Mumbai by storm.
