Concluding his remarks, Shankar mentioned that the movie authentically showcases government procedures and the limitations faced by the officer. It also includes music, action, dance, romance, and emotional elements.
As for Game Changer, the film features Ram Charan in the role of an IAS officer who takes a stand against corruption in the political system. With Kiara Advani as the co-lead, the movie also stars Anjali, Samuthirakani, Srikanth, and several others in key roles.
