Fact Check Questions Reports That Vijay’s Son Jason Sanjay Dropped Father’s Initial

A new review of the viral claim finds no confirmed evidence that Jason formally changed his name.

Overview

  • Entertainment outlets on March 13 reported that Jason Sanjay is using the credit “Jason Sanjay S,” interpreted by some as adopting his mother Sangeetha’s initial.
  • EasternEye reports there is no proof of an official name change and notes claims he had not been using a paternal initial previously.
  • The fact-check adds that his official name is said to be Jason Sanjay Joseph and that he has avoided surnames or initials since starting work on Sigma.
  • Sangeetha Sornalingam’s divorce petition in the Chengalpattu court alleges infidelity and constructive desertion by Vijay, with no third party named in the filing.
  • Social posts claim Jason does not follow Vijay on Instagram, but coverage differs on whether he unfollowed recently or never followed, and his film Sigma marks his directorial debut with Lyca Productions and Sundeep Kishan.
