Atlee, Krishna Priya reveal baby's name with adorable family photo

Director Atlee shared the first picture of his baby boy, but did not reveal the little one's face. Along with the photo, he has also shared with the fans the name of his baby with wife Krishna Priya. The couple has named him Meer. The picture seemed to be clicked inside a temple, as the family sought the almighty's blessings. In the photo, the Mersal director and his wife posed with their 3-month-old baby. However, Atlee hid the baby's face with a heart emoticon. 

Sharing the adorable image, the director wrote, "Yes the name is MEER. Very happy to be revealing our little angel's name. #meer #babyboy." Soon after he shared the photo, his industry friends and fans flooded the comments section. Pritha Hari commented, "God bless Meer papa." Others dropped heart emoticons.
