Ram Charan’s ‘Global Star’ Tag Becomes a Challenge for ‘Game Changer’
Following the massive success of ‘RRR,’ featuring Ram Charan, Jr. NTR, and directed by S.S. Rajamouli, Ram Charan earned the title of ‘Global Star.’ While this recognition thrilled his fans, it has now emerged as a potential hurdle for his upcoming film ‘Game Changer.’ Ram Charan reportedly embraced the title alongside his on-screen persona as well.
‘Game Changer’ marks Ram Charan’s first release after the global sensation ‘RRR.’ However, the film has struggled to generate the expected pre-release buzz. This has led to online trolls questioning whether the ‘Global Star’ tag creates added pressure on the actor. With expectations running high, Ram Charan now faces the challenge of proving his star power not only in regional markets but also in Bollywood.
One factor working in favor of ‘Game Changer’ is its scheduled release during the Sankranti festival, when there are no major competing films from other big stars. This timing advantage could help boost the movie's performance. Advance booking discussions have already begun across North America and India.
Meanwhile, with Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’ setting new records, fan rivalries between Allu Arjun’s supporters and Mega Star fans seem inevitable.
Interestingly, the relatively low pre-release hype for ‘Game Changer’ could be a blessing in disguise. If director Shankar showcases his signature cinematic brilliance, the film could turn into a massive hit. Such success would justify Ram Charan’s ‘Global Star’ status and silence critics.
