The rumors of their reunion gained further traction on Monday, March 16, when Lissy shared a picture with her ex-husband and superstar Mammootty. An insider told Mid-Day, "Now the reunion is official. After hearing news of them patching up, Mammootty asked them to come to Priyadarshan's studio in Chennai, where he was dubbing." "He told them that he was happy to see them together again."
Family influence
Their children were instrumental in the decision
The couple's children, actor Kalyani Priyadarshan and Siddharth Priyadarshan, were instrumental in their reunion. The source revealed to the outlet that the decision to come back together was made six to eight months ago.
