Kritika Kamra, known for her upcoming role in 'Matka King', shared her experience of auditioning twice for the part due to director Nagraj Manjule's concerns about her ability to portray a Parsi character. In an interview with Hindustan Times, she expressed her understanding of the director's perspective, saying, "Even I wouldn’t be, if you told me to play a Parsi character." Kamra emphasized her selective approach to roles, noting that this may limit her opportunities in more commercial projects. She stated, "I’m happy because I’m getting to work with filmmakers whose filmography I’m a fan of." Kritika also highlighted her research into the world of matka, admitting she was unfamiliar with it prior to the show. She feels that her choices reflect her desire to engage with content that interests her as an audience member. 'Matka King', which stars Vijay Varma, will be available on Amazon Prime Video starting April 17.
