Director Halitha Shameem has resumed shooting for her ambitious

Minimini

after seven years. The director, who began shooting for the coming-of-age drama in 2015, has cast actors Esther Anil (of Papanasam fame), Pravin Kishore, and

Gaurav Kaalai

in the lead roles. The film chronicles the journey of a group of friends from childhood to their adolescent years, and Halitha waited for seven years so that her principal cast grows up into teens to resume shooting the film.

While the first schedule of the film was shot in Ooty, in 2015, the current schedule is now being shot in Ladakh. A source tells us, “The shoot began on Tuesday and this schedule will be shot across Ladakh. It will be a 25-day schedule, but the team might extend the shoot.”

Manoj Paramahamsa will be cranking the camera while Raymond Derrick Crasta is editing the film.
