Producer Sirish: Sirish, brother of Sri Venkateswara Creations head Dil Raju, has carved a space for himself as a producer, but his recent comments about Game Changer have stirred controversy. In a candid interview, Sirish called the Ram Charan-starrer a “disaster” and revealed that the film caused major financial losses for their production house. He expressed disappointment, stating that neither the lead actor nor the director reached out after the film’s failure. “The movie caused us a huge loss, but no one called or responded,” he said. His remarks have drawn sharp criticism from Ram Charan’s fanbase, with many accusing Sirish of blaming the actor to cover up the film’s failure. Mega fans have taken to social media to express their anger, claiming Sirish is “using” Ram Charan’s name unfairly. As the backlash intensifies, the silence from the actor’s camp continues to fuel speculation about tensions behind the scenes.
Game Changer’s Box Office Failure:
In a recent interview, producer Sirish addressed the aftermath of Game Changer’s box office failure and made pointed remarks that have sparked controversy. He stated, “After the release of Game Changer, neither Ram Charan nor director Shankar called and spoke to me, even as a courtesy.” When asked whether Ram Charan returned any part of his remuneration, a practice some actors follow when a film incurs heavy losses, Sirish firmly responded, “Our company has not yet descended to such a situation. We did not ask anyone, and no one returned any amount.” His comments, perceived as a direct criticism of Ram Charan, have drawn backlash from mega fans, who have taken to social media to express their displeasure and accuse the producer of unfairly targeting the actor.
Mega fans Support Producer Sirish?
Mega fans have taken to social media to defend Ram Charan in response to producer Sirish’s recent comments about Game Changer. They argue that after the global success of RRR, Ram Charan honored his prior commitment by working with Dil Raju, thereby fulfilling his promise. According to fans, it was the producers’ responsibility to execute the film properly in collaboration with director Shankar. They questioned the relevance of blaming the actor and pointed out several production-related issues.
“All the songs were recorded four years ago and were not updated to suit current trends, yet they were directly inserted into the film, contributing to a 4.5-hour runtime,” fans wrote. They also alleged that the team failed to listen to feedback and highlighted reports of a rift between the director and producer during the trimming process, which was widely discussed in the industry. Fans emphasized that under these circumstances, it was unfair for Sirish to make public remarks against Ram Charan, especially when the core issues stemmed from production decisions.

Dil Raju’s Comments on Unstoppable Show:
Mega fans are also recalling Dil Raju’s past comments on Balakrishna’s Unstoppable talk show, where he stated, “We were supposed to do another film with Ram Charan, but we decided to put that aside and make Game Changer instead.” Fans point out that Dil Raju had immense faith in the project and its storyline, which is why he shelved another film to prioritize Game Changer. They argue that this decision itself reflects the producer’s confidence in the film, and that blaming Ram Charan after its failure appears unfair and one-sided. Citing the actor’s global reputation post-RRR, fans believe it’s inappropriate to ignore these circumstances and criticize Charan publicly. They continue to express their anger towards Sirish, calling his comments unwarranted and disrespectful. All eyes are now on how the producer will respond to the growing backlash.
