Vijay Varma's highly anticipated series 'Matka King,' helmed by Nagraj Manjule, is making waves for all the right reasons. Following the launch of a new poster featuring Vijay, there was an exciting announcement that Sai Tamhankar has been roped in for the series. For trivia enthusiasts, 'Matka King' has a unique connection with Kartik Aaryan's latest release 'Chandu Champion.'

Yes, you read that right! Here’s the scoop. For those who have watched 'Chandu Champion,' the man who changed the fortune of Murlikant Petkar (portrayed by Kartik) by winning a jackpot at his gambling den is Ratan Khatri, a real-life Matka King who was famous between the 1960s and 1990s.
