Shankar Defends Game Changer

In a recent interview, Director Shankar candidly addressed Anurag Kahyap’s remarks on upcoming film Game Changer. Shankar said “I didn’t say anything about Instagram Reels. We should convey things quickly and effectively. When we fail to do so, we allow the audience space to get distracted. The film should be engaging throughout. Editor Reuben has achieved that in Game Changer. That’s what I wanted to convey. I didn’t know Anurag had said this and it’s shocking. Because it came from a genuine place.”

The director further added how impatient the current generation have became and said, “The current generation of audiences is impatient; within ten minutes, they will take out their phones and start commenting about the film on social media. They get distracted within ten minutes. So the film’s editing needs to be engaging. When you see Game Changer, you will realise it is a fast-paced film that doesn’t allow you to look here and there. Ruben has done beautiful editing in the film.”
