Shameer Muhammed on working with Shankar in Game Changer: I had to eventually...'
In a recent interaction, Shameer Muhammed, who had initially handled editing for Game Changer said, "I didn't like Shankar's working approach. It was a horrible experience. As it took longer than expected, I exited the project midway". He further added, “Initially the length was 7.5 hours (the film). I shortened it to 3 hours, which was again reduced by another editor.”
The Game Changer editing was later then handed over to Ruben. With this big statement by the editor, fans took to social media to share their views. One user wrote, "He could have made it into 2 parts if he had 7.5 hrs of material".

Another user wrote, "Shot 7.5 hrs without any announcement or anything? How and why do producers allow this nonsense out of 7.5 hrs, if this is the best 3 hrs they have managed to get, then imagine how worse the rest 7.5 hrs were!!". "Why they shoot 7.5 hrs? Why nobody questioned him while shooting?", wrote the third user.
