Buzz: Mega hero stepping into the horror-comedy genre

Mega Prince Varun Tej is gearing up for the release of his biggest film to date, Matka. The period action drama directed by Karuna Kumar is loosely based on the life of Ratan Khatri. The makers spent huge bucks on this flick, and Varun is giving it his all for the promotions. Matka’s success is very crucial for this mega hero who has had a series of flops recently.

The latest buzz suggests that Varun Tej has already locked his next project. Reportedly, it will be a horror comedy entertainer set against the Rayalaseema backdrop. Until now, Varun Tej hasn’t acted in a horror film, and seeing him in this genre will be interesting. It is said that comedy will be the predominant element in the film.

Horror comedies are the flavor of the season, and if made well, they will surely emerge as money spinners. The word is that Merlapaka Gandhi, who has delivered very good fun entertainers, will be the director of Varun Tej’s horror comedy film. The actor is trying multiple genres, and let’s hope he gets the much-needed success.
