Game Changer, the high-profile political drama starring Ram Charan and directed by Shankar Shanmugam, was expected to be a major hit, especially with its Sankranthi release on January 10, 2025.
However, despite grand expectations and a star-studded cast, the film failed to make a significant impact at the box office.
Now, in an attempt to reach a wider audience, Amazon Prime Video has announced that the film will be available for streaming from February 7, 2025, in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada.
The Hindi version will follow later, after an 8-week delay.The quick turnaround from theatre to OTT—less than a month—has raised some eyebrows, and it remains to be seen how the movie will perform in the streaming space.In Game Changer, Ram Charan plays a dual role, portraying an IAS officer who takes on political corruption.
Kiara Advani stars as the female lead, with Anjali, SJ Suryah, Samuthirakani, Jayaram, and Srikanth playing pivotal roles. Despite the impressive cast and a high-budget production, the movie's reception has been far from what was expected for a Sankranthi release, a period known for big-budget films.Though the film initially seemed to perform well, reports suggest that it did not meet the high expectations.
