**Hyderabad, India:** Ram Charan and Kiara Advani starrer “Game Changer,” directed by Shankar, is set to hit theaters on January 10th, ahead of Sankranti. The film has already generated significant buzz, with advance bookings exceeding expectations.

According to film trade portal Sacnilk, over 4 lakh tickets have been sold, generating a pre-release collection of over ₹13.87 crore. This includes ₹7.52 crore from Andhra Pradesh, ₹3.3 crore from Telangana, ₹1.06 crore from Karnataka, ₹0.59 crore from Tamil Nadu, and ₹0.26 crore from Kerala. The film has secured permission for increased ticket prices and extended show timings in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, starting at 1 AM and 4 AM respectively.

While projections suggest the film could earn ₹122 crore in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana alone (₹43 crore from Nizam region), the film needs to achieve a significantly higher gross of ₹225 crore in these two states to break even. Further expectations include ₹14 crore from Karnataka, ₹15 crore from Tamil Nadu, ₹2 crore from Kerala, and ₹42 crore from the Hindi market, along with an estimated ₹25 crore from international markets. To be considered a box office success, “Game Changer” aims to cross ₹425 crore globally. This release follows the pre-release success of “Indian 2” (₹10.98 crore) and “Acharya” (₹15.75 crore in 2022).
