About Game Changer Movie
The production of Indian 2 faced significant delays following an on-set accident, compounded by the nationwide COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India, which created uncertainty about the film’s resumption. During this time, director S. Shankar shifted his focus to other projects and began developing a script for a potential multi-starrer film intended for a multi-language release, with Yash considered for one of the leading roles.
On 12 February 2021, the production house officially announced the project, with Ram Charan confirmed as the lead. The film was tentatively titled RC15 and SVC50, referencing Charan’s 15th film as an actor and the production company’s 50th project.
Although initial reports suggested it would be a historical action film, it was later clarified to be a political action drama. The official title, Game Changer, was unveiled on 27 March 2023, coinciding with Charan’s birthday.
In December 2024, it was reported that the film was produced on a budget of ₹300–400 crore. Ram Charan was paid ₹65 crore for his role, while Shankar adopted a revenue-sharing model, taking a smaller advance and opting to receive a substantial share of the film’s profits as remuneration to support its production.
Game Changer was initially developed as an interim project during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, along with the adaptation of Veera Yuga Nayagan Velpari (2019).
In late February, it was reported that South Korean actress Bae Suzy would play the female lead pairing opposite Charan, in her Indian film debut. Afterwards, Rashmika Mandanna was considered to play the female lead, before Kiara Advani was finalized for that role in July 2021; this would mark her second collaboration with Charan after Vinaya Vidheya Rama (2019).
The film was formally launched with a muhurat shot on 8 September 2021 at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad with a traditional pooja ceremony attended by Ranveer Singh, Chiranjeevi, and S. S. Rajamouli.
Principal photography began on 22 October 2021 and the first schedule was completed in the first week of November. Filming took place in Maharashtra at Pune, Satara and Phaltan. Later that month, the second schedule began with a song shoot that was held for 10 days, at a specially erected set in Ramoji Film City.
On 26 April 2023, filming of the climactic scenes started under the supervision of Anbariv, in a special set in Shamshabad. Charan shot high combat scenes with 1200 fighters for the same. The final schedule was completed in July 2024. In December 2024, it was reported that the filming lasted for 280 days, in which Ram Charan’s portion was reportedly shot for 192 days.
The film’s first look and title was revealed on 27 March 2023, coinciding with Charan’s birthday. The teaser of the film was released on 9 November 2024 in Lucknow. The official trailer was released on 2 Janurary 2025.
