Pushpa 2 director Sukumar Predicts National Award for Ram Charan. Sukumar, the director of Pushpa 2: The Rule, has already evaluated Shankar’s Game Changer, starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani. The director stated during a Saturday promotional event for the movie in Dallas, Texas, that Ram did so well that he hopes the actor wins a National Award for it.
At the ceremony, Sukumar disclosed that he went to see the movie with star Chiranjeevi, who is Ram’s father. He expressed his feelings on it by saying, “I will tell you a secret. I watched this film with Chiranjeevi sir, Game Changer. So, I want to give the first review. First half, awesome. Interval, blockbuster. Trust me. Second half, the flashback episode gave me goosebumps, phenomenal. I enjoyed it as much as Shankar’s Gentleman and Bharateeyudu (Indian).”
Although Ram’s performance in Rangasthalam did not earn him a National Award, the filmmaker stated that he still thinks this film would fulfill his dream. “I was so sure Charan would receive a National Award for Rangasthalam, so did others. But, the way he essayed emotions in the film’s climax, I got the feeling again. He performed so well, he will definitely get a National Award for it,” he said.
Charan will play the lead in the director’s upcoming movie, which would be their second collaboration following Rangasthalam. During the occasion, Sukumar stated, “I love every hero who works with me because we have worked together for at least 3 years. But when the film is released, I don’t stay in touch with most of them. Charan is the only exception because we stayed in touch even after Rangasthalam. He is my brother; I love him more than anything. We often meet and discuss various things.”
Game Changer is all set to hit the theaters soon on January 10th, 2025.
