Vijay Varma Reveals His Passion for Numbers: A Marwadi with an Accounting Degree
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, April 15 (NationPress) Actor Vijay Varma, currently preparing for the launch of his new crime drama and thriller series, ‘Matka King’, expressed that his knack for crunching numbers is quite natural due to his Marwadi heritage.
In an interview with IANS during the promotional events for ‘Matka King’, where he portrays a gambling lord skilled in both numbers and the game, he elaborated on his comfort with numbers. “I have a bit of a knack for it since I’m Marwadi. I can grasp numbers well. Plus, I hold a degree in accounting, so I have an affinity for numbers. However, my true interest lies in understanding the game itself. There’s a four-page leaflet that outlines the entire game. To truly grasp those four pages, it requires at least a month of dedicated study,” he shared.
He continued, “I invested a lot of time in it, even during the shooting process. Understanding the game thoroughly allows for its evolution. Any game requires at least four rounds of play to truly appreciate it. It took time to master the intricacies of the game, and the more I learned, the better I could explain it to others.”
When asked if he has fully grasped the game and its subtleties, he admitted, “I think there’s still much I don’t know. The game is filled with numerous possibilities and probabilities. It constantly evolves. For instance, typing ‘Matka King’ on YouTube today won’t yield the latest numbers. It’s been an enjoyable journey to comprehend the game,” he added.
Directed by Nagraj Manjule, ‘Matka King’ is set to premiere on Prime Video on April 17, 2026.
