Vijay Varma On 'Two Hamzas' And 'Two Gully Boys': Coincidence Or Cosmic Connection With Ranveer Singh?

At the star-studded trailer launch of Matka King, Vijay Varma grabbed attention with a glimpse of what promises to be a thrilling new avatar, further cementing his place as one of the most exciting actors we have right now. The trailer hints at a dynamic and gripping character, adding to his streak of compelling performances. During the event, he was asked about the interesting connection between his journey and Ranveer Singh's recent success, linking their shared Gully Boy roots and contrasting Hamza characters.

Vijay responded saying, "I think you are referring to Hamza of Ranveer Singh and I have played in Darlings. It is just a coincidence and an interesting piece of movie trivia now. But yeah, Gully Boy was a significant moment in my life. I remember I was down in the dumps when that film happened to me. It saved me, it gave me a career. So I am very thankful to do that film and with Ranbir who was one of the finest co-actors I have worked with. And with Hamza, he is hit it out of the park. So I would just say that when life throws a Hamza at you, make it like a Durandar Hamza and not like a Darlings Hamza."

The quip landed perfectly, sparking laughter and nods from the crowd. It underscores Vijay's versatility: from the toxic intensity of Hamza in Darlings to his anticipated hero swagger in Matka King, a tale of Mumbai's matka gambling underworld. Meanwhile, Ranveer's Dhurandhar Hamza is already packing theaters, proving the duo's shared Gully Boy roots run deep whether by fate or film trivia.
