Ram Charan takes on the challenging task of portraying both a father and a son in Game Changer.
We are yet to know if both the roles of father and son appear at a time on screen or in different scenes, splitting into flash back and present. This is a challenging step, demanding a performance that few, like Kamal Haasan, have mastered.
Charan’s portrayal, especially as the father, must captivate audiences.
NTR achieved acclaim for dual roles in Devara, setting a high bar for acting. Now, Charan faces similar expectations.
In Devara, NTR adopted a Tamilian style of wearing lungi though the film is set in Andhra and the director also being a Telugu.
But in Game Changer, however, Tamil director Shankar directed Charan making him wear a Telugu-Styled 'Panche'.
The portrayal of an older character is crucial, as Chiranjeevi, the megastar, succeeded in fatherly roles in the past.
This is Charan's acid test; failure could invite social media trolling, but success could solidify his versatility.
