Ram Charan’s Game Changer’s premiere shows in North America to be impacted by content delays

Ram Charan and Shankar’s Game Changer is all set to kickstart 2025 in a big way. As the first big-ticket film of the year, it is expected to set the tone for upcoming releases. In India, the film is anticipated to open at around Rs 25 crore—the biggest opening for a Ram Charan solo film.

However, in North America, which has recently become one of the biggest markets for Telugu films outside of India, the film is expected to face challenges due to delays caused by the producers leading to delay in delivering of the drives. Sources also reveal that the film, which was also slated to be the next IMAX release, will not be available in the circuit because of a delay in content conversion, leading to late uploads and failure to deliver the content on time. The Hindi and Tamil versions were uploaded just in the nick of time, ensuring shows in those languages. However, the delays have prompted AMC, one of the largest theater chains in the United States, to halt booking shows for the film.
