The star cast of Minmini features Esther Anil, Gaurav Kalai, and Pravin Kishore in the lead roles. The director of the film, Halitha Shameem, has gained recognition for her Tamil film Sillu Karupatti, which consists of heartwarming stories exploring themes of love, relationships, class differences, and camaraderie. She also helmed the film Aelay in 2021.

Halitha recently shared that Minmini took a span of seven years to complete filming. This decision was made to allow the protagonists, who were child actors at the beginning, to grow up naturally before capturing the remaining scenes. Notably, the director intentionally refrained from using any computer graphics to represent the changes in the characters' appearances.

Minmini is a coming-of-age movie that delves into the experiences of two young individuals grappling with survivor's guilt. The film has completed shooting in the picturesque locations of Ooty and Ladakh and is currently in the post-production phase.

In terms of Khatija Rahman's career, she made her playback singing debut in the 2010 sci-fi action film Enthiran, lending her voice to the title track in Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu. This remarkable achievement involved collaborating with musical legends such as her father, A. R. Rahman, and S. P. Balasubrahmanyam.
