Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s much-anticipated spy comedy Jack has finally hit theatres but received a lukewarm response from audiences on its opening day. While the film continues its theatrical run, reports confirm that the makers have finalized a streaming deal with a leading Ott platform.

Game Changer Release Delay Issue (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Game Changer might not hit screens in Tamil Nadu on January 10, 2025, during the Pongal/Sankranti festival season. Reports suggest that Lyca Productions, the studio behind Indian 3, has approached the Tamil Producers Council, requesting them to intervene and delay the release of Game Changer in the state until an agreement is reached regarding Indian 3.

The root of the issue seems to be that, according to unconfirmed reports, Shankar has yet to complete certain portions of Indian 3, including a song. Lyca Productions reportedly wants the pending work to be finished before Game Changer is released in Tamil Nadu. Titled Indian 3: War Mode, the film is expected to continue directly from the cliffhanger ending of Indian 2.

Shankar also discussed the current generation of viewers. He said, “Today’s audience is impatient. Within ten minutes,...
