Yes. He was born Tamil Mudaliar (Hindu caste which orginates from Tamil Nadu) and later converted to Islam. He also mentioned that he speaks in Tamil with his family (during his interview with Sun TV - interviewer Pepsi Uma). Some people wrongly claim he is Malayalee or even Kannadiga, which is totally wrong. Most important thing is he is Indian with Tamil as his mother tongue. His love to Tamil language became world-wide known when he said "Ella Pukalum Iraivanukkae" in Tamil while receiving Oscar awards.
