Ram Charan and director Game Changer, produced by Dil Raju, is having a middling run in theatres. Now, reports suggest that Charan has agreed to do another film for producer Dil Raju with a significant pay cut. While Game Changer registered a strong opening, it witnessed a gradual decline in numbers. Sankranthiki Vasthunam and Daaku Maharaaj, two other festive releases, have been performing well in theatres.
Reports suggest that Game Changer could end up as a big loss venture for Dil Raju. In a pre-release interview, Dil Raju claimed that the film was made on a budget of Rs 450 crore. According to tracking website Sacnilk, Game Changer earned Rs 127 crore nett at the domestic box office in 12 days.
Hence, Charan decided to join hands with Dil Raju for another film to cover the losses. However, the RRR actor has a strong line-up of films. He is currently shooting for director Buchi Babu Sana's RC 16 with Janhvi Kapoor. He is also in talks with a few more directors.
If reports are to be believed, Charan has agreed to do a film with a lesser remuneration for Dil Raju. However, an official announcement regarding the same is yet to be made.
On the work front, Ram Charan is gearing up for the next schedule of Buchi Babu Sana's film, which is tipped to be a sports drama. The actor has been rigorously training with fitness coach Shivoham Bhatt to build his physique. The untitled film will release in theatres later this year.
Director Shankar is expected to complete his work on Kamal Haasan's Indian 3. He said that he'd take six months to complete the film due to heavy VFX. After that, he would move on to his dream project, Velpari, which would be a three-part film.
