Director Atlee and his wife, producer-actor Priya Atlee, are expecting their second child. The couple announced their second pregnancy on January 20 with a sweet social media post.

The couple posted a heartfelt Instagram photo of their expanding family, which included their son Meer and cherished pets, to announce the good news. Both fans and celebrities were immediately moved by the announcement.

Alongside the pictures, the caption reads, “Our home is about to get even cosier with the addition of our newest member! Yes! We are pregnant again. Need all your blessings, love and prayers. With love Atlee, Priya, Meer, Becky, Yuki, Chocki, Coffee and Goofy.”

In the pregnancy announcement photoshoot, Priya is seen leaning into Atlee's loving grin while holding her baby tummy in a calm mehndi-green dress in a gorgeously arranged photo sequence. As young Meer joins the shot and exudes an endearing "big brother" spirit, another frame captivates viewers.

The family's pets are included in the photos, lying around and enhancing the intimacy and coziness of the scene. Fans grinned as Priya signed off on the post with all of their identities, both human and furry.

Fans and celebrities alike swiftly expressed their love for the announcement.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to the comment section and wrote, “So so beautiful. Congratulations, my beautiful mama.” Keerthy Suresh also showered the couple with love and heart emojis.

On the work front, Atlee is currently preparing for his next major film, a massive sci-fi action spectacle with Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone that is tentatively titled AA22xA6.
