We wish you all the best for this film which is going to hit the screens on March 3”.

Malayalam director Ali Akbar announced in December that he was renouncing Islam as a sort of protest against those who had glorified the terrible death of CDS General Bipin Rawat. Ali Akbar then declared this on Facebook along with the statement that he and his family would no longer practice any religion.
Recently, Ali Akbar converted to Hinduism with his wife, and the director changed his name to Ramasimhan Aboobakker. He said, “Ramasimhan is a person who was killed while sticking to the culture of Kerala. Tomorrow, Ali Akbar will be called Ram Singh. That’s the best name”.
On the work front, Ramasimhan is best known for Mammalakalku Appurathu, Senior Mandrake, and Grama Panchayath. Ramasimhan made his debut with the 1988 film Mamalakalkkappurathu for which he also received the best Debut Director award.
Now, it will be interesting to see how the film will perform at the box office after its release.
