The failure of Ram Charan starrer Game Changer came as a disappointment not just to the fans but also to the makers. Directed by Shankar and co-starring Kiara Advani, the political action thriller fell short of expectations and underperformed at the box office.

Recently, the producer of the movie, Shirish Reddy, grabbed attention when he claimed that RC did not reach out to the producer after the failure. The statement went viral in no time and drew heavy criticism from fans.

Furthermore, Shirish highlighted that RC gave his full time and support to Game Changer, and his statement was not intended to harm the reputation of the superstar in any way.

His note read as “‘Global Star’ Ram Charan gave us his full time and support for the film ‘Game Changer’. We have had a close relationship with Megastar Chiranjeevi Garu's family for many years. We did not speak in a way that would harm the reputation of Chiranjeevi Garu, Ram Charan Garu, and other Mega heroes. If my words have hurt anyone's feelings... please forgive me.”
