Ram Charan and Shankar’s ‘Game Changer’ Sets Eyes on Sankranti Premiere


In a recent announcement that has stirred excitement and anticipation, the filmmakers behind the much-awaited project ‘Game Changer,’ featuring the formidable collaboration of Ram Charan and director Shankar, have confirmed a new release date for the film. Originally announced in February 2021, ‘Game Changer’ began shooting in October of the same year and completed production in July 2024. Initially set for a December release coinciding with the festive Christmas season, the film will now premiere during the upcoming Sankranti festival.

Acclaimed producer Dil Raju, who is facilitating this cinematic venture under his banner, Sri Venkateswara Creations, made this significant announcement via a video message. In the clip shared across various platforms, Raju elaborated on the reasoning behind this strategic shift. He revealed that, following extensive discussions with distributors across key regions in India and the United States, the Sankranti holiday presented itself as a more auspicious period for the film’s global launch. Notably, this coveted holiday slot was initially reserved for the release of ‘Vishwambhara,’ starring Ram Charan’s father and veteran film star Chiranjeevi.

The transition of ‘Game Changer’ to the Sankranti weekend ignited a buzz across social media channels, underscoring the film’s anticipation among cinema enthusiasts. Dil Raju expressed gratitude to Chiranjeevi and UV Creations, the team behind ‘Vishwambhara,’ for accommodating the change. This adjustment allows for a clear path for ‘Game Changer,’ a project three years in the making, to capture the holiday excitement and audience engagement unencumbered.

Music for ‘Game Changer’ is composed by Thaman S, promising a harmonious backdrop to the film’s striking visuals and dynamic storyline. Alongside Ram Charan, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Kiara Advani, Anjali, Samuthirakani, SJ Suryah, Srikanth, and Sunil.
