With the growing trend of films ending on cliffhangers to set up sequels, many are curious whether Shankar's maiden Telugu film, Game Changer, featuring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, will follow suit. Srikanth, who plays a pivotal role in the movie, addresses these speculations and shares his experience working on the film.

Srikanth on Acting in Game Changer

In a recent interaction with the press in Hyderabad, Srikanth opened up about his role and his collaboration with director Shankar. Speaking about the acclaimed filmmaker, he said, "He is already known for his craft. Right from the first day, he made us very comfortable. He is very patient and goes for as many takes as possible. He knows how his actors must act in his films and perfectly injects his vision into us. We just follow it."

Srikanth also praised SJ Suryah’s performance in the film, asserting that his role in Game Changer surpasses his earlier work in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram.

"I have scenes with everyone: Charan, SJ Suryah, Jayaram, and Samuthirakani. SJ Suryah's performance is outstanding. His character has layers of humour, cunning, and sarcasm, taking it to the next level compared to his role in Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. Working with such versatile characters has been an amazing experience," he shared.

On Playing an Ageing Chief Minister

Srikanth takes on the challenging role of an ageing chief minister in Game Changer, which required extensive prosthetics. Reflecting on the process, he said, "I had to spend at least three hours daily in the makeup chair. Initially, I wondered if I could pull off the role during narration, but once the prosthetics were done and I got into the look, I felt confident I could do justice to the role. Working with Shankar garu is a dream for many, and I consider myself fortunate to have such a significant role in his film."

Will Game Changer Have a Sequel?

Addressing the possibility of a sequel, Srikanth confirmed, "No. I think Game Changer is a standalone single-part movie. Shankar’s recent movies might have disappointed, but he has never failed as a director. I hope he makes a strong comeback with this film. It has all the commercial elements people want, including political angles and twists. I hope it’ll be a big hit."

Fans can look forward to Game Changer when it releases in theatres on January 10, 2025, just in time for Sankranthi.
