Global Star Ram Charan has tasted his first bitter pill after renaming himself with that title. His film Game Changer has turned out to be an outright disaster, which is even more glaring considering it followed RRR. The intense rivalry between NTR and Mega fans has only amplified the impact of this failure, making the situation more inconvenient for Charan.
To make matters worse, Game Changer keeps coming up at other movie events.

Recently, Dil Raju himself admitted that the Game Changer’s box office collection posters were fake at the Sankranthiki Vasthunam success event.
Last night, Allu Aravind, while sharing the stage with Dil Raju, made a lighthearted remark saying that Dil Raju had seen both the lowest and highest moments in just one week, followed by income tax raids—delivered with a big laugh.

This immediately triggered a section of Mega fans, who saw it as a mockery of Ram Charan.
Given the existing rivalry between Allu Arjun fans and Mega fans, Aravind’s comment and laughter at the result further upset them. However, anyone who watched the video objectively would see that it wasn’t meant to insult Ram Charan or Game Changer, but rather a light joke between two senior producers about the ups and downs of recent films.

But fans, being fans, are adamant to see it that way.
While Game Changer’s result or the financial damage to buyers cannot be changed, they are now targeting Allu Aravind, accusing him of blocking Magadheera from being released in other languages despite Rajamouli’s insistence. They claim that if Aravind had allowed it, the film would have been a pan-India blockbuster, and now he is mocking Game Changer’s failure.
One thing is certain—while a veteran producer like Allu Aravind may not have intended to mock Ram Charan publicly, the Telugu industry is simply not accustomed to self-satire or jokes about failures, unlike Bollywood. Traditionally, Tollywood producers maintain that even disaster films have met expectations, recovered budgets, or at least try to downplay failures. Self-satire or satires on other producer’s flops is rare.
Ironically, it was Allu Aravind who moved his Thandel out of the Sankranthi race to give space to Ram Charan’s Game Changer as a favor to him. Yet, he has now become a target over what was meant to be a lighthearted joke.
