'Jawan' director Atlee, wife Priya blessed with baby girl
Mumbai, April 20
Filmmaker Atlee, who is known for the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Jawan', 'Mersal', 'Bigil' and others, has welcomed a baby girl along with his wife Priya Atlee. The news was shared in the most heartwarming way by their son, Meer, through his parents' social media, where he announced that he has become a big brother to a little sister.
This marks a beautiful new chapter for the family, with the arrival of their daughter bringing immense happiness to the household.
Actress Ananya Panday took to the comments section, and wrote, "Biggest congratulations". Actress Kajal Aggarwal wrote, "Yayyy big congratulations. Lots of love to the little baby girl, parents, grandparents and most of all Meer".
Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu wrote, "Congratulations".
Atlee and Priya tied the knot in Chennai in 2014. Their wedding was a warm, intimate affair rooted in tradition and long-standing companionship. Their union reflected a classic South Indian ceremony, simple, elegant, and family-centric rather than extravagantly public.
Close friends and industry colleagues attended, but the focus remained on rituals, blessings, and shared history. The couple, who met during their early days in the Tamil television industry, built a relationship that grew steadily alongside their careers.
Over the years, their partnership has become a quiet cornerstone of Atlee's journey as a filmmaker, with Priya often supporting his creative pursuits while maintaining her own identity. Their bond stands out in an industry often defined by spectacle, representing stability, mutual respect, and growth. Today, they are seen as one of the more grounded couples in the South Indian film space.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Atlee's next big project is 'AA22 x A6', a high-profile collaboration with Allu Arjun. The film is expected to be mounted on a grand, pan-India scale.
The project is reportedly backed by Sun Pictures, indicating a big-budget production with cutting-edge visuals and wide release plans.

Wonderful news! Atlee is one of our finest directors. His family life seems as beautiful and well-scripted as his films. May the little one bring them boundless happiness. Now, back to waiting for that Allu Arjun project!
Congrats to them! It's really sweet that their son announced it. Shows a lovely, close-knit family. In an industry of breakups, it's refreshing to see a stable marriage. God bless the baby girl.
Such a beautiful story. I loved reading about their simple, traditional wedding. It's a nice contrast to the usual Bollywood extravagance. Wishing them all the best with their new addition!
Amazing news! Atlee sir gives us blockbusters and now gets the biggest blessing of all. Daughter's arrival is always special. May she be healthy and happy. Also, the AA22 x A6 update has me super excited!
Congratulations are in order, of course. But can we please have less focus on celebrity baby announcements and more on the actual work? I'm more interested in the details of the Allu Arjun film than the gender of the baby, to be honest.
