Shankar's 'Game Changer' has been in production for over three years now. Finally, the film's lead actor, superstar Ram Charan, has completed shooting for his portions, infusing a new dose of excitement among fans. He shared a collage of two photos from his first and last days of shooting, which feature him approaching a helicopter in two different attires.
The political action thriller was announced in February 2021, and Ram Charan began shooting for it during the second half of the year. According to reports, the film's shooting is nearly complete, and will soon move into its post-production stage. The promotional activities, including the release of the teaser and trailer, are supposed to begin soon!
Although there's no official update, 'Game Changer' is expected to be released theatrically later this year. As we wait eagerly, let's learn an interesting fact about it that many are unaware of.
Yes, you read that absolutely right! More of Ram Charan is never a bad idea, and it seems Shankar took it quite seriously. According to some reports, Ram Charan is playing triple roles in 'Game Changer', achieving a new milestone in his career.

The main character, however, is reportedly an IAS officer named Ram Nandan who goes on to stand up against corruption. His other characters in the film are reportedly named Appanna and Vijay.
Besides Ram Charan in triple roles, 'Game Changer' also stars Kiara Advani, Anjali, S. J. Suryah, Srikanth, Jayaram, Sunil, Samuthirakani, and Nassar in pivotal roles. Moreover, the film has music composed by Thaman S, cinematography by Tirru, and editing by Shameer Muhammed. Director Karthik Subbaraj (of 'Pizza', 'Jigarthanda', and 'Jagame Thandhiram' fame) wrote the film's original story, while Shankar wrote the screenplay. The dialogues are written by Sai Madhav Burra.
"As a filmmaker, I felt honored when Shankar sir asked if I have any stories he can direct. I had this story that I knew I couldn’t direct but knew he’d be the perfect fit.” - Karthik Subbaraj
Reports suggest that the film is being made on a budget of around ₹240 crores. It has been shot in several locations including Hyderabad, New Zealand, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai, and Chandigarh.
The film was announced with the tentative title 'RC15' as it's Ram Charan's 15th film as the lead actor.
'Game Changer' marks Shankar’s debut in Telugu cinema. Notably, the film is being simultaneously shot in Tamil and Telugu.
It's Ram Charan and Kiara Advani's second collaboration. The duo previously worked together in Boyapati Srinu’s 2019 film 'Vinaya Vidheya Rama'.
It marks Thaman S' first collaboration (as a music composer) with Shankar. However, he previously acted in the director's 2003 coming-of-age musical film 'Boys'.
Ram Charan has been on a roll ever since the release of 'RRR'. And besides 'Game Changer', he also has a project with director Buchi Babu Sana and one with director Sukumar in his pipeline.
