Ram Charan and Kiara Advani's much-awaited pan-Indian drama, Game Changer, released in theatres on Friday. While fans are excited to watch the film helmed by acclaimed director Shankar, they will have to wait a few more days to see its song, NaaNaa Hyraanaa, on the big screen. The song has been temporarily removed from the film due to technical issues.

The makers of Game Changer shared an update on social media. "Everyone's favourite, #NaanaaHyraanaa | #Lyraanaa | #JaanaHairaanSa from #GameChanger has been edited out due to technical challenges encountered during the processing of infrared images in the initial prints," read a post on the official X account of the film.

The team assured fans that the issue would be resolved soon. They added, "Rest assured, we are diligently working towards adding the song back in the missing content, which will be available starting January 14th. Can't wait for you all to vibe with Global Star @AlwaysRamCharan & @advani_kiara in theatres with @shankarshanmugh sir's mark visuals and @MusicThaman's blockbuster melody of the year! (sic)."

NaaNaa Hyraanaa (titled Jaana Hairaan Sa in Hindi) is a melodious romantic number shot in New Zealand. It is said to be the first Indian song to be shot on an infrared camera. Sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Karthik, the song has already captivated listeners with its soothing music, background score, and rhythm. Saraswatiputra Ramajogayya Sastry wrote the lyrics, while Bosco Martis handled the choreography.

Game Changer's story is written by Karthik Subbaraj. Alongside Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, the political thriller features Anjali, SJ Suryah, Srikanth, Jayaram, Naveen Chandra, Prakash Raj, and others in pivotal roles. The film has already created buzz among cinephiles and received a positive response during early morning shows.

The film’s soundtrack includes four songs: Jagarandi, Raa Macha Macha, NaaNaa Hyraanaa, and Dhop. Reports suggest the music budget of the film totals a staggering ₹75 crore.
