Earlier this year in February, actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay’s wife Sangeeta Sornalingam moved the Chengalpattu family court seeking a divorce after 25 years of marriage, as per a report by India Today. The ground for divorce that was stated was infidelity. She accused her husband of having an extra marital relationship with an actress who was later revealed to be Trisha Krishnan.

Divorce proceedings adjourned till August

As per reports, proceedings in the actor and Tamil Nadu’s CM’s divorce are moving at a snail’s pace in court at the moment. Although the case came up for hearing at the Chengalpattu Mahila Court on Monday, June 15, it was adjourned to another day soon enough without any major developments.

The reports by Hindustan Times also state that both the parties were absent and the case has been adjourned till August 7.

What did the actor’s wife claim?

“Petitioner discovered in 2021 that Respondent was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress.”

The petition further stated- Respondent even after assuring to end relationship continued the adulterous relationship without remorse.” More details about the development are awaited.

The 
Jana Nayagan fiasco

The release of Jana Nayagan, touted as Thalapathy Vijay’s last film before he transitions into politics full time, has been pushed back once again, with fresh reports confirming that the film will not hit theatres before April 30, 2026. The delay comes amid ongoing certification hurdles, mounting industry concerns, and a sensitive political backdrop in Tamil Nadu.

CBFC tussle remains the main roadblock

The biggest reason behind the delay continues to be the  
film’s ongoing certification process with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The examining committee has reportedly raised objections over certain political references and narrative elements, leading to multiple rounds of review. As of now, the makers are locked in discussions with the board to resolve the concerns without compromising the film’s core storyline.
