S. Shankar's inaugural venture in Telugu cinema, Game Changer, has been achieving notable success at the box office; however, the predominantly unfavourable reviews may have influenced its potential for further growth. In an interview with Behindwoods TV, Shankar expressed his feelings regarding his partial dissatisfaction with the outcome of Game Changer, which features Ram Charan and Kiara Advani.

What Shankar said

I am not entirely pleased with the results of Game Changer. I believe I could have achieved a better outcome. Several noteworthy scenes were omitted due to time limitations, resulting in a total runtime exceeding five hours. We made some cuts to create a more refined product, Shankar remarked.

Shankar is well-known for his lengthy films. He opted to divide his previous project, Indian 2, into two parts after realizing he could not fit the entire narrative into a three-hour format. Consequently, Indian 2 premiered in theatres last year, while Indian 3 is scheduled for release later this year. The original film, Indian, is a classic vigilante story featuring Kamal Haasan, which debuted in cinemas in 1996. The sequel includes performances by Kamal, Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, and Gulshan Grover, among others.

Anurag Kashyap's recent comment on Shankar

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently expressed his views in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, stating that although Shankar may not currently be at his peak, he is likely to recover, similar to other esteemed Tamil directors like Mani Ratnam. Kashyap remarked that Shankar's assertion that he created Game Changer with the Instagram Reels audience in mind indicates a shift in perception, suggesting that directors he once regarded as "chefs" have now become "caterers." In response, Shankar clarified that Anurag had misinterpreted his comments, as he did not equate filmmaking with Instagram Reels.

In Game Changer, which premiered in theatres on January 10, Ram Charan portrays both a father and son. The film also features performances by SJ Suryah, Jayaram, and Vennela Kishore. Based on a story by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by Sri Venkateswara Creations, Game Changer has achieved over ₹1,000 crore in the domestic box office.
