The gathering was graced by the film’s lead stars, Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, along with director S. Shankar and producer Dil Raju. Renowned for his political thrillers, S. Shankar returns with a gripping tale in which Ram Charan portrays an officer on duty, taking down the villains.

Shankar prioritized Kamal Haasan’s project over Ram Charan’s.Now, Game Changer is set to hit theaters on January 10, 2025, promising a riveting storyline centered on an IAS officer’s battle against corrupt politicians through the promotion of fair elections.
