The influence of iSmart Shankar is very high on hero Ram. The film has become the biggest hit and Ram is still not coming out from its hangover. It is becoming very difficult for the directors to convince Ram by narrating him the stories.
No one can be able to say if Puri Jagannath has done good or bad to Ram's career with iSmart Shankar.
It seems that Ram is demanding for the rough and tough characters. It is being rumored that he asked a director to narrate him if the character is only rough and with negative shades. He has also conveyed him to add a rape scene if required.
Ram's ideas are being conveyed in the trailer of Red as well. The influence of iSmart Shankar is seen on this trailer too. Puri has hypnotized and changed the mind of Ram with iSmart Shankar.
