Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, is all set to storm in the theaters on January 10, 2025, coinciding with Sankranti. As the movie is days away from release, it is reported that the RRR actor and the action-thriller’s director Shankar have quoted a lower remuneration for the film than what was planned earlier.

According to a report by Great Andhra, Ram Charan has only accepted a remuneration of Rs 65 crores for the film, especially after the global success of RRR. The actor decided to accept a lower remuneration due to the film's delays and postponements.

Moreover, the film’s director Shankar has also apparently only taken home Rs 35 crores as remuneration, reducing his fees. However, as of now, these are just rumors, and no official confirmation has been made.

Moving forward, the film Game Changer released its official trailer on January 2, 2025. As the film is days away from release, the makers conducted a trailer launch event in Hyderabad, with director SS Rajamouli attending as the chief guest.

The film’s trailer featured Ram Charan as an IAS officer who sets out to rid the political system of corruption. The two-minute and forty-second trailer featured the global star in dual roles, playing both father and son. Additionally, the actor was seen donning multiple looks in the movie.
