Mithivedi (transl.Minefield) is a 2012 Australian Tamil-language war-drama film starring Daniel Balaji and Neelima Rani. The film is directed and produced by Anand Maiyur Srinivas, an Australian-based finance consultant turned short filmmaker. The film talks about the struggles of a mother who is trying to save her baby after getting stuck in a minefield in Sri Lanka during the civil war.[1] The film released online directly and is the first Tamil film to do so. The film was shot in around five days near Chengalpattu.[2][3][4]

Cast[edit]

Controversy[edit]

The media inaccurately reported that a still from this film was for Maattrraan (2012) with several magazines reporting that Daniel Balaji was part of that film after the still was posted on Facebook.[5]
