Ananya Panday also joined in, commenting, "Biggest congratulations (sic)." Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna reacted with a string of red heart emojis. Actresses like Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Huma Qureshi were among others who extended their wishes to the couple.
Atlee and Priya, who got married in November 2014, welcomed their first child, a son named Meer, in January 2023. The name holds a special connection, as it is inspired by Shah Rukh Khan’s father, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan.
On the professional front, Atlee is currently working on his upcoming film Raaka, which remains under production. The project has been generating attention ever since its first look was unveiled on Allu Arjun’s birthday.
Sharing his thoughts at the time, the director wrote, "#Raaka isn’t just a film… it’s a part of me I’ve carried for years. For 18 years, I held on to one idea, never letting it fade. It tested me, shaped me, and stayed with me through everything. And honestly… this is just the beginning (sic)."
While the makers are yet to confirm a release date, Raaka is expected to arrive in theatres in 2027.
