Desk Correspondent , Mumbai - Celebrated filmmaker Atlee and his wife, Priya, have shared the delightful news that they are expecting their second child. The couple took to social media on Tuesday to make the announcement through a series of heartwarming family photographs.

"Expanding our family and our hearts once again," the couple captioned the post, which quickly garnered thousands of likes and celebratory comments from fans and colleagues alike.

The announcement triggered a wave of warm wishes from some of the biggest names in the Indian film industry. Leading the tributes were actresses Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Keerthy Suresh, both of whom have shared a close professional and personal bond with the director over the years.
