Director S Shankar had earlier addressed the box office performance of Game Changer. In an interview with Behindwoods TV, Shankar said: “No filmmaker is ever satisfied with their film. I definitely feel like the film could have done better. There were so many good scenes, but they were trimmed, due to which we missed a lot of good things. I can’t put every scene in a three-hour film.”

He added, “The total duration of the film had gone up to five hours. It was like carving a statue. If you want to carve a good statue, it is better if it is made of stone.”

Game Changer also stars Anjali, SJ Suryah, Srikanth, Sunil, and Jayaram, among others.
