Yuvan converted to Islam Not too long ago Yuvan Shankar Raja converted to Islam. The music composer reportedly started developing faith in the values of Islam post his mother's death and he says that his new religion gave him a lot of peace and enlightened him with a lot of inner meanings after practicing it. The grapevine is that Yuvan has decided to change his name to Mohammad Khaliq as per Islamic beliefs.
YuvanA few days ago Yuvan hinted that he is contemplating name change and averred that his father Ilayaraja is unhappy with his decision to convert to Islam and a reported name change.
However, his brother Karthik Raja and sister Bhavatharini have instantly agreed to his beliefs, while his father is still to come to terms with his decision.
Sources in Kollywood affirmed that Yuvan will start using his new name from upcoming Surya-starrer Mass directed by Venkat Prabhu. Yuvan's last outing Govindudu Andari Vadele, featuring Ram Charan and directed by Krishna Vamsi, has given him his maiden success in Tollywood.
