Srikanth reveals insights about working with director S. Shankar, the movie’s commercial appeal, and why it’s poised to captivate audiences.

One of the most awaited films of next year’s Pongal festival, Game Changer, helmed by visionary director S. Shankar, promises to be a cinematic spectacle. Starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles, the film has been generating immense buzz. Recently, actor Srikanth shared his experience working on the project and addressed speculation about a potential sequel.

Srikanth, speaking to the media in Hyderabad, praised Shankar’s directorial approach, calling it meticulous and actor-friendly. “From day one, Shankar sir made me feel at ease. He’s incredibly patient, taking as many takes as necessary to achieve perfection,” Srikanth revealed. He further elaborated on Shankar’s clarity in guiding his actors, saying, “He knows exactly what he wants and ensures that vision is seamlessly transferred to his actors. We simply follow it.”

Addressing rumors of a sequel, Srikanth confirmed that Game Changer is designed as a standalone film. He acknowledged that while some of Shankar’s recent projects may not have met expectations, the director’s legacy remains untarnished. “Shankar’s recent films might have disappointed, but he has never failed as a filmmaker. I believe Game Changer will mark his grand comeback,” he said.

Srikanth hinted at the film’s rich narrative, highlighting its mix of commercial elements, political intrigue, and unexpected twists. He expressed optimism that the movie would resonate with audiences and emerge as a major success.

Having worked with Ram Charan earlier in Govindudu Andarivadele, Srikanth reflected on the actor’s evolution. “Back then, he was still a youngster. Now, his acting has matured significantly,” he noted. Srikanth credited Ram Charan’s performances in Rangasthalam and RRR as milestones in his career, adding that Game Changer offers him two performance-heavy roles. “Portraying Appanna in this film is especially challenging, but Ram Charan has handled it brilliantly.”

Concluding his remarks, Srikanth expressed confidence that Game Changer would deliver a memorable cinematic experience for fans and cement Shankar’s status as a master storyteller.
