Varun moved on to his next project, Matka, but that has also been put on hold, as per the news. Even since Amazon Prime announced a project titled Matka with Vinay Varma, the makers are in confusion as both films are more or less on the same subject. The shoot has been halted, and Varun is busy reading scripts for his next.

Now, we have come to know from our sources that Varun has locked noted director Merlapaka Gandhi's next. The news is that Gandhi approached Varun a few days ago with an adventure thriller and the star hero also liked the script and has given a green signal.
