The much-awaited political action film Game Changer, directed by S. Shankar, is finally set to release tomorrow. With a record-breaking trailer and pre-sales bookings, the excitement around the film is palpable. The soundtrack, composed by the talented S Thaman has also been a massive hit with several songs already earning millions of views and streams. However, a surprising revelation from S Thaman regarding the song ‘NaaNaa Hyaraanaa’ has caught the attention of fans, particularly the news that Armaan Malik replaced in the track.
In a recent interview with Prema the Journalist, S Thaman spoke about the process behind the making of the film’s songs. He revealed that the original singers for ‘NaaNaa Hyaraanaa’ were Armaan Malik and Jonita Gandhi, but due to certain creative changes, they were replaced by two renowned South Indian singers, Karthik and Shreya Ghoshal. “Initially, Armaan Malik and Jonita Gandhi sang the song, but we later decided to replace them with Karthik and Shreya Ghoshal. Karthik’s voice, when paired with Jonita’s, felt good but when we brought in Shreya Ghoshal, it was like a perfect combination – Karthik’s soulful voice paired with Shreya’s sharp and precise delivery created the right balance for the song,” said Thaman.
This revelation underscores how important it is for the singer’s voices to match the mood and vibe of a song, much like the perfect pairing of actors onscreen. The team wanted to ensure that the voices of Karthik and Shreya Ghoshal complemented each other and captured the emotional essence of the track, enhancing its overall impact.
S Thaman’s insight into the process shows the level of detail and effort that goes into creating the perfect song, especially in a film like Game Changer, where music plays a key role in building the story’s atmosphere. The change of singers for ‘NaaNaa Hyaraanaa’ might come as a surprise, but it also highlights the director’s commitment to getting everything right.
In addition to his work on the film, Thaman also shared a personal update about Armaan Malik, who recently got married to Aashna Shroff on December 28, 2024. The intimate, pastel-themed wedding took place in Mahabaleshwar, and the couple shared their joy with fans on social media.
Game Changer, which releases on January 10, 2025, stars Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, SJ Suryah, Anjali, Samuthirakani and others. The film follows Ram Nandan, an IAS officer who fights corrupt politicians while facing the internal conflict with his own brother, a corrupt police officer.
As we gear up for Game Changer’s release, it’s clear that every aspect of the film, from its casting to its music has been carefully crafted. Fans can look forward to a cinematic experience that combines action, drama and soulful music.
