As part of promotions, one of the film’s female leads, Anjali, spoke to the media.
Here are excerpts:
Q: You are having two releases this Sankranthi. How are you feeling?
Anjali: I’m very happy. Sankranthi is a big season for any actor. Acting alongside big heroes like Ram Charan and Vishal in these movies makes it even more special.
Q: Tell us more about your character in the movie.
Anjali: My character’s name is Parvati, which is also my mother’s name, so I connected with it deeply. Game Changer is a special film in my career, and I’ve put in a lot of hard work.
Q: What kind of hard work did you put into the film?
Anjali: I can’t reveal much because Shankar sir wants it to be a surprise. My character was challenging, and some days I carried the emotions home. Parvati will remain one of my most memorable roles.
Q: What is your character’s relationship with Appanna?
Anjali: I play Appanna’s wife. Our bond is beautifully depicted and is central to the story. There are surprises about these characters that you’ll discover in theatres.
Q: How was it working with Ram Charan?
Anjali: Charan is an incredible co-star. His positive energy brings out the best in everyone. He’s respectful to all, from the lightman to the director.
Q: How did you feel about working on a Shankar film?
Anjali: It’s a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to work with director Shankar. This, combined with acting alongside Ram Charan and working under Dil Raju’s production, makes it extra special.
Q: Is Parvati your dream role?
Anjali: I never had a specific dream role, but if I did, it would be like Parvati from Game Changer.
Q: Were you nervous working with Shankar?
Anjali: Initially, yes, but his calm demeanor made me comfortable. He’s an amazing person.
Q: How did you feel about playing a character beyond your age?
Anjali: Both Charan and I loved our roles. We had great coordination, and Charan’s support helped me give my best.
Q: How did you feel seeing yourself and Charan in your respective looks?
Anjali: It felt new from the look test itself. I’ve mostly done girl-next-door roles, but this film required a more realistic 90s look. The director’s attention to detail made it special.
Q: How was it working under Dil Raju’s production again?
Anjali: It’s always a pleasure. Dil Raju’s banner feels like home, and I’m proud to be part of their films.
