Directed by Shankar, Game Changer also stars Kiara Advani in her Telugu language debut, along with Anjali, SJ Suryah, Jayaram, Sunil, Nassar, Raghu Babu, Samuthirakani, Srikanth, and Naveen Chandra. The film also marks Shankar’s debut in the Telugu film industry. The director, known for making some of the biggest Tamil hits like Indian, Jeans, Sivasji The Boss, and Enthiran, has not directed anything since 2018’s Rajinikanth-starrer 2.0.

Game Changer has been described as a political thriller, a genre in which Shankar has delivered hits like Nayak and Mudhalvan in the past. The film has been mounted on a massive Rs 170-crore budget and filming began in September 2021 and is currently underway with some delays. Shankar is also busy with the shoot of his much-delayed Kamal Haasan-starrer Indian 2. Game Changer is expected to wrap shjoot soon and be ready for release later in the year. Some reports suggest, however, that the fmakers may be targetting a March 2024 release for the film.
