The makers have shared a fresh poster of Vijay on social media, in which we can see him wearing a white shirt giving a 90s vibe and is seen throwing cards.

The post is titled: "Ready to place your bets! #MatkaKing coming soon but filming now."

'Matka King' is a fictional story based in 1960s Mumbai, where an enterprising cotton trader seeking legitimacy and respect starts a new gambling game called 'Matka'.

The game disrupts the city and democratizes an area previously reserved for the rich and elite.

The series also stars Kritika Kamra, Sai Tamhankar, Gulshan Grover and Siddharth Jadhav in lead roles.

Produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Nagraj Manjule along with Gargi Kulkarni, Ashish Aryan and Ashwini Sidwani under the banner of Roy Kapur Films, the series is directed by Nagraj and written by Abhay Coran along with Manjule.

Currently in production, the series will be released on Prime Video.

Meanwhile, Vijay was last seen in the streaming mystery thriller film 'Murder Mubarak' alongside Pankaj Tripathi and Sara Ali Khan.

His next films 'Surya43' and 'Ul Jalul Ishq' are in the pipeline.
