hahah ppl domt know
Manoj Night Shyamalan is from Palghat, it is on the border to Tamilnadu, but defenitely in Kerala and his middle name is Nelliyat which he changed to Night for easiness. Then about A.R.Rehman, his father is from Kerala, a hindu who converted to Islam and ARR is now a devout Muslim who was brought up in Madras. This is for your information. We are not taking the credit from our tamil neighbours. I am just stating the facts. I don't think there is any hatred between Tamils and Keralites, other than what we see on net. All of us are Indians and that should be the spirit. Jai Hind.

M.Knight Shyamalan .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._Night_Shyamalan
Shyamalan was born in a Hindu household in Mahé, India.[2][4] His father, Nelliate C. Shyamalan, is a Malayali and is a traditional physician (Vaidyar) from Mahé. His mother, Jayalakshmi, is a Tamil and is an obstetrician and gynecologist by profession.[5] In the 1960s, after medical school (at the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research in Pondicherry) and the birth of their first child, Veena, his parents moved to the United States. His mother returned to India to spend the last five months of her pregnancy at her parents’ home in Chennai.
Shyamalan spent his first six weeks in Puducherry, and then was raised in Penn Valley, Pennsylvania, an affluent suburb of Philadelphia. Although Hindu, he attended the private Roman Catholic grammar school Waldron Mercy Academy, followed by the Episcopal Academy, a private Episcopal high school located at the time in Merion, Pennsylvania. Shyamalan earned the New York University Merit Scholarship in 1988.[6] Shyamalan is an alumnus of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, in Manhattan,[7] graduating in 1992. It was while studying there that he adopted Night as his second name.[8]
A.R Rehman :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._R._Rahman
Rahman was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India to a musical Mudaliar[citation needed] Tamil family. His father, R. K. Shekhar, was a film-score composer and conductor for Tamil and Malayalam films; Rahman assisted his father in the studio, playing the keyboard. After his father's death when Rahman was nine years old, the rental of his father's musical equipment provided his family's income.[11] Raised by his mother, Kareema (born Kashturi),[1] Rahman was a keyboard player and arranger for bands such as Roots (with childhood friend and percussionist Sivamani, John Anthony, Suresh Peters, JoJo and Raja)[3] and founded the Chennai-based rock group Nemesis Avenue.[12] He mastered the keyboard, piano, synthesizer, harmonium and guitar, and was particularly interested in the synthesizer because it was the "ideal combination of music and technology".[13]
Since some Keralites in other blogs are claiming sole credit for Arundhati Roy, ill clarify it too.
Arundhati Roy :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arundhati_Roy
Arundhati Roy was born in Shillong, Meghalaya, India,[4] to Rajib Roy, a Bengali Hindu tea plantation manager from Calcutta and Mary Roy, a Malayali Syrian Christian women's rights activist from Kerala.[5] When she was two, her parents divorced and she returned with her mother and brother to Kerala.[5] For a time, the family lived with Roy's maternal grandfather in Ooty, Tamil Nadu. When she was 5, the family moved back to Kerala, where her mother started a school.[5]
Roy attended school at Corpus Christi, Kottayam, followed by the Lawrence School, Lovedale, in Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu. She then studied architecture at the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, where she met architect Gerard da Cunha. The two lived together in Delhi, and then Goa, before they broke up.[
She is 50% Bengali , 50% Malayali .
