The divorce proceedings involving actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay and his estranged wife Sangeetha Sornalingam continue to draw major public attention.
In the latest development, a family court in Tamil Nadu has postponed the hearing in the matter to June 15, extending the timeline of one of the most closely watched celebrity legal disputes in the state.
With Vijay currently focused on politics and awaiting the release of his final film as an actor, Jana Nayagan, the case remains under intense spotlight.

Court Hearing Briefly Conducted Before Adjournment
Accorfing to news agency ANI, the matter was heard on Monday at the Chengalpattu Family Welfare Court. The case reportedly appeared as the fourth item on the day's cause list and was placed before Judge Sasikala.
After a brief hearing, the court ordered an adjournment and fixed June 15 as the next date of proceedings, ANI reported.
This marks another delay in the ongoing matter, which has already seen multiple hearing dates since the case formally began earlier this year.
Timeline Of The High-Profile Case
As per reports, the legal proceedings were first taken up on February 26 after Sangeetha moved the court. The matter was later deferred to April 20, just days before the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
With the latest postponement, the case has now been adjourned for a second time. This has pushed the next key hearing to mid-June.
The June 15 hearing is expected to decide the further course of proceedings.
Allegations Mentioned In Petition
ANI also reported that, in the divorce petition filed in February 2026, Sangeetha accused Vijay of infidelity and alleged he had an 'adulterous relationship' with an actress.
The petition stated, "In April 2021, the Petitioner (Sangeetha) discovered that the Respondent (Vijay) was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress. This caused her deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust."
It further alleged that the actor 'continued open association with the actress,' causing emotional distress and embarrassment to the children.
The case comes at a crucial time for Vijay, who is actively contesting Tamil Nadu politics through Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). At the same time, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Jana Nayagan, expected to be his final film project as an actor.
