The recent developments according to sources are putting Ram Charan under immense pressure. It is known that Tollywood stars dominated the 2024. Prabhas, NTR and Allu Arjun showed their power at the box office not only down south but also in the North belt. Irrespective of the talk of their films, they ensured that their films got good collections and thus proved their star power.
What is more is, these stars conquered and captured the Pan India market without the support of the star director Rajamouli. Many feel this is leaving Ram Charan under intense pressure. Prabhas' Kalki 2898 AD directed by Nag Ashwin got Rs 1100crs world wide and in the process Prabhas became the first South star to enter into Rs 1000crs twice.
NTR's Devara directed by Koratala Shiva got Rs 520crs across the world. Thus NTR entered into Rs 500crs club twice after Rajamouli's RRR. Allu Arjun is currently shaking box office with Pushpa The Rule. The film already entered into Rs 1500 cluband is racing to break Baahubali 2 collections. The film created a sensation in Hindi becoming the first film in 100years to get such collections.
Under these circumstances Ram Charan's Game Changer is releasing at the box office. This is a political entertainer helmed by Shankar. Ram Charan should score a blockbuster to be in race and compete with Prabhas, NTR and Allu Arjun. After RRR , Ram Charan's film along with his dad Chiranjeevi, Acharya turned out to be a disaster. Ram Charan has the responsibility to prove his stamina at the box office.
NTR broke Rajamouli sentiment with Devara and Prabhas scored hits like Kalki, Salaar etc and Allu Arjun without Rajamouli support scored hits with Pushpa Franchise.
