THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Director Ali Akbar has changed his name after announcing that he is quitting religion. The director's new name is 'Ramasimhan'. Ali Akbar announced this via a live session on Facebook.

Ali Akbar had said that there were celebrations on social media following the news of the death of Bipin Rawat, the Chief of Defence Staff, and that he is leaving the religion in protest. "My name will be Ramasimhan from tomorrow. Ramasimhan is a personality who was killed for sticking to culture. From tomorrow you can call me Ramasimhan. That is a good name, "said Ali Akbar.

Ali Akbar had taken to Facebook yesterday to point out that some people were putting smileys on social media for the news of Bipin Rawat's death. But the director's account was deactivated by Facebook for a month, citing communal slurs in the live video. Ali Akbar then announced that he is quitting religion through another account.
