Meanwhile, as they say like father like daughter, Khatija is also a singer and musician just like her dad. She has crooned a few tracks, including Rock a Bye Baby from Mimi starring Kriti Sanon.

Not too long ago, AR Rahman talked about who all inspired him during his journey at a promotional event. He said, "There are many people actually. I have been discovering the old music now like Madan Mohan sahab, SD Burman sahab, Hridaynath Mangeshkar and all the greats. I think in today's time the music is very interesting, it serves the movie but the musicality I think is definitely from the 60's and 50's period. The lyrics and the tune of the singer and everything is like a university by itself."

He further added, "The younger generation of course like Shankar, Amit Trivedi, Vishal - Shekhar. Bengali, Malayalam and Tamil composers, bursting with talent."
