Mega Power Star Ram Charan has now earned the title of “Global Star” from his fans, thanks to his immense success with RRR. The movie not only elevated his status internationally but also cemented his position as a leading actor in Indian cinema. However, following RRR, his subsequent film Acharya didn’t perform well at the box office. Now, all eyes are on his upcoming Pan-India movie Game Changer.
Directed by renowned filmmaker Shankar, Game Changer is being produced under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations by Dil Raju, with a massive budget reportedly around ₹300 crores. Fans have been eagerly waiting for updates on the film, but so far, only two significant updates have been released: the title glimpse and the song “Jaragandi Jaragandi.” Despite three years of production, the lack of updates has left fans restless.
Recently, producer Dil Raju mentioned in press meetings that the film is expected to release around Christmas, but no official announcements have followed. As a result, Ram Charan’s fans have grown frustrated and taken to social media to express their disappointment. Thousands of fans have begun trending various hashtags, including #IrresponsibleDirectorShankar and #WakeUpShankar, demanding updates on the movie, specifically asking for the release of a teaser
What’s caught attention is the intense backlash, with fans even resorting to using derogatory hashtags to troll the makers. They’ve targeted not only director Shankar and producer Dil Raju but also the music director Thaman, warning him not to disappoint with the music. Fans are particularly pushing for the release of the Game Changer teaser by Vinayaka Chathurthi, issuing warnings that there will be further protests if their demands aren’t met.
This aggressive reaction from Ram Charan’s fanbase is unprecedented. While they’ve been vocal in asking for updates in the past, this time their frustration seems to have reached a boiling point, as evidenced by the strong language used in their posts.
The film Game Changer features Kiara Advani as the female lead, with pivotal roles played by Srikanth, SJ Suryah, Anjali, and Sunil. The movie is being made on a grand scale, but there are concerns following the underperformance of Shankar’s recent film, Indian 2. Reports suggest that Shankar is being extra cautious to ensure the success of Game Changer.
Adding to the tension, rumors have surfaced about the film’s content being leaked, with a missing pen drive at the center of the controversy. However, no official confirmation has been given regarding this issue. In the film, Ram Charan is said to be playing dual roles—a father, who is a politician, and his son, an IAS officer. Fans are eagerly awaiting more clarity on these reports.
As the anticipation builds, it remains to be seen whether the filmmakers will respond to fan demands and release the much-awaited updates, particularly the teaser, by Vinayaka Chathurthi.
