The Raaka team surely has many reasons to celebrate. On Sunday, the lead actress of the film, Deepika Padukone, took to social media to announce her second pregnancy, and on Monday, director Atlee shared the good news that he and his wife, Priya, have welcomed their second child, a baby girl.

Atlee shared a picture of his son Meer announcing the arrival of his sister, and captioned it as, "Feeling blessed (sic)." The caption on the picture reads, "Yay! I've got a baby sister! Big Brother Meer." It further read, "We, Priya & Atlee, are blessed with a baby girl. April 20th, 2026." Check out the post below...

Atlee and Priya tied the knot in November 2014. In January 2023, the couple was blessed with their first child, a baby boy, whom they named Meer. The name Meer is inspired by Shah Rukh Khan’s father's name, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan.

Now, let's see what Atlee and Priya will name their daughter.

Raaka Shoot

Raaka is currently in production, and even though Deepika is pregnant, she is expected to continue the shoot of the film during her pregnancy. A few days ago, on Allu Arjun's birthday, the first look of the film was release.

While sharing the first look, Atlee tweeted, "#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)."

The makers have not yet announced the release date of the film. But, reportedly, Raaka will hit the big screens in 2027.
