Telugu superstars are making inroads into the Hindi belts rapidly, thanks to the groundbreaking success of the Baahubali franchise. This turned Prabhas into a pan-India sensation.
However, he has proven his box office power with regular hits like Saaho (a Hindi belt success), Salaar, and Kalki 2898 AD.

Now Allu Arjun and Jr NTR (in a small way) have also showcased their box office clout in Hindi.
After RRR, NTR further proved his mettle with Devara, with mediocre content and without Rajamouli’s brand. It turned out to be a decent success for NTR.

Allu Arjun, on the other hand, succeeded with Pushpa 1, directed by Sukumar, who wasn’t as established as Rajamouli. The sequel, Pushpa 2, has now taken the Hindi market by storm. It is poised to collect an unprecedented 650-700 crores net, setting an all-time record in Hindi.
Now, all eyes are on Ram Charan, whose upcoming magnum opus Game Changer is slated for January 2025. Pushpa 2’s phenomenal success has intensified the pressure on Ram Charan.

Game Changer is poised to be a true pan-India film that aims to showcase Ram Charan’s full potential. The film appears to be packed with action, drama, and heroism—elements that resonate well with Hindi audiences.
However, it remains to be seen how director Shankar has blended these aspects to deliver a captivating and mesmerizing narrative.
Game Changer needs to perform very well in the Hindi market to secure a successful verdict. More than the local markets, it is the Hindi belt that has the real potential. To establish themselves as big stars, the box office business in Hindi has become a top priority for our Telugu top-tier stars.
For Ram Charan’s Game Changer, the minimum target would be to achieve a net collection of 75–100 crores in its Hindi version. If it can achieve this collection then Ram Charan can build on further with his next movies.
Anything below 50 crores would be a huge blow for Charan.
