There’s a whole lot of buzz and anticipation surrounding S Shankar’s upcoming directorial, Game Changer. The film will mark Ram Charan and Kiara Advani’s big-screen reunion after their 2019 collaboration, Vinaya Vidheya Rama. Touted to be a vigilante action thriller, it revolves around an honest IAS officer and his fight against a corrupt political system through impartial and fair elections.
Game Changer has been in the making for the last three years. It went on floors in October 2021 with the team wrapping up its final schedule in July this year. The makers had also announced that it’s slated for a theatrical release in December this year. The first song from the film titled Jaragandi was launched in March. However, of late, multiple reports began stating that the release of Game Changer might be pushed to 2025 due to Ram reshooting some portions which would lead to a delay in post-production.
But, News18 Showsha has now learnt that there seems to be no truth to the story. At the ongoing Moscow International Film Week, the producer of the film, Dil Raju, exclusively spoke to us and cleared the air surrounding Game Changer. “The shoot is complete and we’re releasing the film during Christmas this year,” he stated. Confident that the film will emerge as a box office success, he told us, “I’m definitely expecting this film to change the images of Shankar sir and Ram Charan. It touches upon an aspect of Indian politics and explores a social theme. I’m hoping it will strike a chord with the audience and will be a big success.”
For Raju, this confidence also comes from the anticipation that the audience will get to experience the pre-Robot Shankar with Game Changer. “It’s a proper commercial film. Shankar sir has done this kind of a film earlier but after Robot, he changed his style of storytelling. But he’s going back to what he was known for with Game Changer after a long time. It’s a typical hero-villain film. It has five songs that will be a visual treat for the audience. We’re confident that the film will get very good results,” he added.
Speaking to us earlier, Advani had also revealed that Game Changer will show both her and Charan ‘in a very different light’. “It’s always lovely working with Ram. He’s a very, very fine actor and an excellent dancer. We shot together for Game Changer after the release of RRR. And he was still the same. He’s so grounded. He’s a humble and wonderful person. That’s what makes him the star that he is. It was my dream to be directed by Shankar sir. He’s an incredible director. He creates magic onscreen,” she had shared.
