As S. Shankar’s Game Changer prepares for its highly anticipated release in January 2025, the film’s promotional materials have sparked a strong online response. The latest revelation of a poster for the third single, Naanaa Hyraanaa, featuring Kiara Advani, has been met with mixed reactions from fans and netizens alike. In the poster, Kiara is portrayed as an apsara, but her look has disappointed many, leading to a wave of criticism on social media platforms, particularly Reddit.
While the romantic track, with lyrics by Ramjogayya Sastry and music by Thaman S, has garnered praise for its star-studded lineup of singers, including Karthik and Shreya Ghoshal, the visual treatment for Kiara’s look has not created the same excitement. Kiara Advani, known for her fashionable and glamorous appearances, appears to have been let down by the styling and creative direction for the poster. Fans had expected her role to embody a more glamorous, “Bond girl” type allure, as suggested by earlier promotional material. However, the final product seems to have missed the mark, leaving many fans disappointed and bewildered.
On Reddit, a thread titled “Wtf is this ?? ATP Kiara should just sue the game changer movie unit” quickly gained traction, with numerous users expressing their frustration. One fan criticized her appearance, saying, “NOOOOO WAY IS THAT HER WTAF the first one is so so bad. Her eyebrows r so uneven, expression seems wrong and her makeup is so caked.” Another fan echoed these sentiments, saying, “Bhai ye Kiara nahi ho sakti. That first pic, how did anyone approve it? Unless they want her to look bad on purpose.” Some even went as far as to suggest that the photo looked altered, with one user writing, “The first one looks ridiculously bad. It seems like her anti-fan edited her pictures.”
While Kiara Advani is no stranger to criticism, especially given her consistent presence in the limelight, this particular promotional image seems to have struck a chord with her followers in a less than favorable way. Whether this reaction will impact the film’s overall anticipation remains to be seen, but it certainly indicates a disconnect between the expectations set by earlier teasers and the final promotional choices made for Game Changer.
