AR Rahman’s daughter Khatija Rahman turns music composer

AR Rahman is one of the best music composers in the country. The daughter of the Oscar-winning composer, Khatija Rahman will be making her debut as a music composer for upcoming Tamil film, Minmini. Director Halitha Shameem took to Twitter to share the news.

Halitha Shameem, wrote: “So happy to be working with this exceptional talent, Khatija Rahman for Minmini. The euphonious singer is a brilliant music composer too. Some great music underway (sic).”

In a recent interview with Times of India, Khatija revealed she wasn’t sure about turning composer till last year. “Last year, I was figuring out what I wanted to do. Also, I was singing and doing so many things at that point. I felt there was too much on my plate. But later, there was another project – also by a female director — that came to me. So, I called Halitha ma’am and told her things had changed, and asked if she still wanted me. I played her my independent track. After hearing that, she said, ‘This is exactly my vibe. I like your voice. I like your thinking. So, I want to work with you. I feel you can add value to the film.’ We decided to give it a try and take it forward,” Khatija said.

Coming to Minmini, it stars Esther Anil, Gaurav Kalai and Pravin Kishore as lead actors. The movie is scheduled to release the later half of 2023.
