The shoot for Minmini has been completed. It was shot across seven years and features a bunch of child artists from Halitha’s debut film Poovarasam Peepe. Esther Anil, Gaurav Kalai, and Pravin Kishore are the lead characters.

Minmini is expected to be a coming-of-age film that follows two youngsters who carry survivors’ guilt.

Khatija is the eldest daughter of Rahman and Saira Banu. The couple also shares daughter Raheema and son AR Ameen.

Khatija made her singing debut with the song “Puthiya Manidha” from superstar Rajinikanth’s 2010 blockbuster “Enthiran”. In Hindi, she sang “Rock a Bye Baby” from the 2021 Kriti Sanon-starrer “Mimi” in Hindi.

Her latest song is “Chinnanjiru Nilave” from Mani Ratnam’s blockbuster epic “Ponniyin Selvan: 2”.

Halitha’s last directorial venture was “Loners”, a segment from the 2022 Tamil anthology series “Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadhaa”.
