Jason Sanjay, the son of actor-turned-politician Vijay, has reportedly dropped the “V” initial from his professional name, a move that has sparked widespread discussion online. The development comes at a time when Vijay and his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, are going through divorce proceedings after more than two decades of marriage.

According to several regional media reports includind one by Money Control, Jason Sanjay is now using the signature “Jason Sanjay S” instead of the earlier “Jason Sanjay V.” In South Indian naming traditions, the initial usually represents the father’s name. However, the young filmmaker is now said to be using “S” for Sangeetha, his mother, instead.
The reported name change has drawn significant attention on social media, with many interpreting it as a gesture of support for his mother amid the ongoing family situation. Sangeetha recently filed for divorce from Vijay at the Chengalpattu District Court, bringing their 27-year marriage to an end. The matter became public on February 27, 2026, with reports claiming the petition cited issues including alleged infidelity and neglect. Neither Vijay nor Sangeetha has publicly addressed the details of the case so far.

The two arrived together in the same car at the wedding reception of producer Kalpathi S. Suresh’s son in Chennai on 5 March 2026.
