He was pronounced dead at around 5 am. Speaking to Indian Express, his wife Krishna said, “His blood pressure dropped suddenly and he was admitted to Breach Candy hospital where doctors declared him dead at 5 am. He was doing fine earlier and this was sudden.” Ram had directed films like Hum Hindustani (1960), a multi-starrer where Sunil Dutt, Asha Parekh, Helen, Joy Mukherjee and Prem Chopra shared screen space, and Sanjeev Kumar made his debut. In 1964, he directed Leader, which starred Dilip Kumar and Vyjayanthimala. He also directed and produced Rani’s debut Bengali film, Biyer Phool, in 1996, and produced Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, her Bollywood debut, in 1997. He was the founder of Filmalaya Studios, which is located in Mumbai. The filmmaker will be cremated today. With inputs from PTI
