India, March 14 -- 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.
