Atlee and Priya's baby's name was first revealed by Shah Rukh Khan during an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with fans on Saturday after the release date announcement of his next film, Jawan. The hit Tamil filmmaker and the Bollywood superstar are collaborating for the first time in the upcoming film, which will open in cinemas on September 7. Atlee and Priya announced the news of being blessed with their first child on January 31 and also posted photos from a photo shoot celebrating the joyous occasion. The duo has been setting couple goals for many years now after tying the knot on November 9, 2014, in Chennai, in the presence of family members and close friends, with several big names from the Tamil film fraternity also gracing the occasion.
On the work front, Atlee is busy with the work on Jawan, which marks his big directorial debut in Bollywood. Touted to be an action thriller, the upcoming pan-Indian film also releasing in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages will serve as the launchpad for 'Lady Superstar' Nayanthara, composer Anirudh Ravichander, cinematographer GK Vishnu, and editor Ruben in Hindi cinema. While Vijay Sethupathi is said to be cast as the antagonist, Shah Rukh Khan's role in Jawan has been teased only in the title announcement released last year, with expectations high for the superstar to come out firing on all cylinders after the sensational box office success of his Pathaan released earlier this year.
