The actor took to Twitter to share the news, and communicate that his wife and son are doing well, and that the birth of his son has brought him closure on the death of his father. “After 18 years, my dad has been reborn as my son. To ease my several years of pain, my wife Aarthi has endured this. I thank her with tears in my eyes.”

On the work front, Sivakarthikeyan is awaiting the release of director Nelson Dilipkumar’s Doctor, which could release on a digital platform instead of waiting for theatres to reopen. He also has sci-fi flick Ayalaan in the works.
