Game Changer starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani released in theatres on January 10, 2025. The film is facing one controversy after another. After being accused of inflating their box office numbers, now the makers are facing legal trouble after reports of non-payment to background actors have surfaced on internet.
According to a report in Telugu Scribe, 350 film extras had yet to be paid ₹1200 each by the end of February. Reportedly, a place complaint has been filed and the extras have demanded producer Dil Raju and director Shankar to look into the matter. Neither the production house, nor the film’s representatives have issued an official statement.
However, as soon as the news surfaced on internet, memes of Ram Charan have gone viral on X. One user wrote, “After the ₹300 crore disaster Gamechanger, Ram Charan requested Dil Raju for one more film without remuneration Dil Raju blocked him everywhere and refused to work again.”
Another user wrote, “₹85cr ni ₹186cr ni ela chesav @AlwaysRamCharan”.

According to a report in Sacnilk, Game Changer minted ₹131.17 crore in Inda, while worldwide it collected, ₹186.25 crore. The Shankar directorial has emerged as a big disaster, given its reported budget of nearly ₹400 crore.
Reports have suggested that Ram Charan has agreed to do another film for producer Dil Raju with a significant pay cut due to the non-performance of their most recent collaboration. Meanwhile, Game Changer is director Shankar’s second flop in a row after Kamal Haasan starrer Indian 2.
