Actress Meenakshi Chaudhary, who turned to South Indian cinema after becoming Miss India in 2018, wanted to do a period film for a long time. Her wish was fulfilled with the Telugu film Matka, which is releasing on November 14. This film starring Varun Tej along with Meenakshi will also be released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada languages. In this film based on Matka Satta, prevalent in the eighth decade of the last century, Meenakshi has played the role of hero Vasu’s wife. Regarding her role, she says, ‘I had not done any period film before this. I was very interested in doing a film which was set in the background of the sixth, seventh or eighth decade of the last century.
I was very happy when I got that opportunity in this film. I am an actress who works according to the director’s instructions. I had seen such roles only in films before, so it was fun working according to the director in this film. As Vasu’s life progresses in the film, my character’s life also progresses. Both of them meet each other at a young age, then they grow up together and both get married. Both of them also have a child in the film. In this way, different looks have been shown according to different stages of life and age.
