Game Changer Box Office Report: Game Changer producer Dil Raju spoke about the profit sharing model at L2: Empuraan's press conference in Hyderabad. He was asked if this model might be used in Tollywood after Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran revealed that they prefer the profit-sharing arrangement over fixed pay. 

Dil Raju cited three innovative Tollywood filmmakers Prashanth Neel, Sukumar and Rajamouli to answer. The well-know producer clarified that rather than receiving a set payment for his movie, the SSMB29 filmmaker uses a profit-sharing approach. Additionally, he revealed that Prashanth Neel has taken a similar tack and thinks Telugu cinema would soon embrace this format.

Dil Raju also recalled this attempt with Ram Charan's movie Game Changer. He talked about his experience with Game Changer and disclosed that the initiative began with a profit-sharing scheme. Under this agreement, Ram Charan and director S Shankar were brought on board to finish the Telugu movie within a year and on a tight budget. However, due to production delays, both ultimately decided to pick fixed pay over profit sharing model.
