Varun Tej Channels His Babai’s Style, Sports Iconic Red Towel on Set!
The final schedule of Mega Prince Varun Tej’s action-packed drama Matka is currently in progress at Ramoji Film City, and anticipation around the film is soaring. Directed by Karuna Kumar, the project has generated significant buzz, especially after a leaked on-set photo caught everyone’s attention.
In the picture, Varun Tej is seen sporting a clean-shaven look with curly hair, but what truly stands out is the red towel draped around his neck. While the red towel is a common symbol representing the working-class community, it has become more iconic due to its association with Pawan Kalyan and his Janasena party. Mega fans are now curious to see the context of this scene and are excited about the film’s potential.
