Energetic Star Ram in his career scored many hits. However, he failed to stabilize his market due to lack of consistency. Ram with iSmart Shankar proved that he can even pull masses to the theatres showing his never seen before mass image.
But it seems Ram is committing iSmart mistake. After iSmart Shankar's sensational hit, Ram is once again falling in the dilemma and confusion. In this confusion he announced that his next project would be the remake of Tamil hit Thadam titled RED.
Ram instead of believing the creative ideas of writer cum director Kishore Tirumala, bestowed the responsibility of directing Thadam remake. Kishore Tirumala with no other heroes as a replacement had no other go but to direct Ram in Thadam remake
Thadam based on a small concept did well in Kollywood. It is not clear how Telugu movie lovers receive it. Analysts feel that Thadam remake is not the right option for Energetic Star after the sensation of iSmart Shankar.
Some feel Ram is attempting this remake, after iSmart Shankar, in order to do romantic and love stories staying away from iSmart Shankar's mass image. Ram, who was in two minds over Thadam remake after iSmart Shankar hit, finally decided to go ahead with the remake.
