After the monumental success of S.S. Rajamouli’s “RRR,” both Ram Charan and Jr. NTR (Nandamuri Tarakaratna) have garnered immense anticipation for their upcoming ventures. Both actors are poised to deliver new cinematic experiences later this year.
Jr. NTR’s highly anticipated film “Devara” is slated for release on September 27th, 2024. This pan-Indian project has generated significant buzz among fans. Interestingly, Ram Charan has also completed filming for his upcoming pan-Indian movie titled “Game Changer.”
While details surrounding the plot of “Game Changer” remain undisclosed, reports suggest a thematic similarity between the two films. Both narratives reportedly revolve around sons striving to fulfill their fathers’ dreams and aspirations. Further speculation suggests that both Ram Charan and Jr. NTR will portray dual roles in their respective films. The core plot is said to center around a son seeking revenge for his father’s betrayal and murder.
However, the films diverge in genre. “Game Changer” is described as a political drama, while “Devara” is touted as an intense action saga. Despite the shared thematic elements, reports assure audiences that the films will be distinct in terms of their settings and narrative treatment. Notably, “Devara” will be presented in two parts, while “Game Changer” will be a standalone feature film.
There is a recurring sentiment in the Telugu film industry that actors who collaborate with the blockbuster director S.S. Rajamouli often face initial box office failures in their subsequent releases. This was previously observed with both NTR’s “Andhrawala” and Ram Charan’s “Orange.” However, considering the extensive production time invested in “Game Changer” and “Devara,” with the makers taking meticulous care, fans remain optimistic about the films’ prospects. Only time will tell if these upcoming projects can overcome this perceived box office hurdle.
