Bio

About

Ali Akbar, now known as Rama Simhan, is an Indian film director and screenwriter primarily working in Malayalam cinema. He made his directorial debut with 'Mamalakalkkappuram' in 1988. Over his career, he has directed 17 films, including popular works like 'Junior Mandrake' and the critically acclaimed 'Achanurangatha Veedu', for which he received a Special Jury Award at the Kerala State Film Awards in 2005. He gained significant media attention in late 2021 when he renounced Islam and embraced Hinduism, adopting the name Rama Simhan, following controversial social media interactions. His recent film, '1921: Puzha Muthal Puzha Vare', based on the Mappila riots, also generated considerable public discussion and controversy.
