The political action drama film has Kiara Advani as the female lead, marking the trio's first collaboration. ## "Game Changer" was announced last year and it was supposed to be released on Sankranthi 2024, but the film's shoot has been delayed multiple times owing to Shankar's other commitments which means it couldn't arrive on its planned date. The actor also seems to be in no hurry and letting things at his own pace. ## The film is produced by Dil Raju and the star producer has now revealed the much-awaited release date of it. During a recent movie event, Dil Raju revealed that "Game Changer" will hit worldwide theatres in September 2024, and the news delighted the fans of the superstar who was last seen in SS Rajamouli's RRR in March 2022. ## As per the recent reports, the shoot of "Game Changer" is in its last leg and the entire filming will be wrapped up around February next year. After finishing his current commitments, RC will be heading to start his next which is with director Buchi Babu Sana and it will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers. ## Stay tuned...

'Salaar: Ceasefire' Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Hyderabad, December 21 - Director Prashanth Neel has been living a dream of seeing the theatres getting filled for one of his initial subjects in a new form and he couldn't have teamed up with a bigger star than Prabhas to do that for him and the time has finally arrived in a few hours. ## Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire has been in the making for the last two years and it is easily one of the most anticipated Indian films. Produced by Hombale Films, the movie is seen as a big comeback for Prabhas in particular after a few box office misfires over the last few years. ## Even though the recent films of Prabhas couldn't repeat the heroics of his past films they still scored big openings and Salaar is not going to be any different on that front. The movie is targeting one of the biggest openings for an Indian title at the worldwide box office looking at the pre-sales trend. ## The bookings of Salaar, despite not getting much support from national chains, are outstanding, to say the least. In India, the film has already grossed over 42 crores from online bookings while overall sales (including offline shows) should be around 60 crores for the opening day in all languages which is excellent. ## As per the booking trend, Salaar opening in India is tracking to over 100 crores gross as it is expected to be somewhere around 100-110 crores gross. In its main market, Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), the film is expected to take the opening in the vicinity of 70 crores, which is one of the biggest ever. ## The Hindi market is going to be a key to Salaar's overall success and as per the booking trend, the movie is heading for a good start. It is mass-friendly and is expected to score around 20 crores gross in the Hindi belt. In Karnataka, the movie is projected to gross around 12 crores on the opening day, followed by 4+ crores in Kerala, and over 3 crores in Tamil Nadu. ## The overseas pre-sales of the movie are fantastic and the opening in international markets is expected to be 45+ crores, which will make it 150-160 crores opening day at the worldwide box office, making it the biggest for an Indian film of 2023.## The aforementioned projections are purely based on the booking trend and how pan-India Telugu films have behaved in the past, so these numbers may vary by some margin. Still, Salaar is on track to create some new records at the box office and if reports are favourable, then the sky is the limit for Prabhas-starrer tentpole. ## Stay tuned...
