The speculations surrounding the possibility of a reconciliation between filmmaker Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth and actor Dhanush have been put to rest. After months of rumours and hopes for the estranged couple to rekindle their relationship, it is now confirmed that they are surely not getting back together.

“Dhanush is not working on his differences with Aishwaryaa. They are separated and have gone in different directions. They have accepted that they can’t be together,” a source says.

Furthermore, the source dispelled the notion of reconciliation: “The buzz that they are trying to reconcile is wrong. They aren’t. When it comes to divorce, they have not filed it yet, so they are separated. They won’t file for divorce unless one of them wants to get married again. They don’t live together, but they are busy finding ways to co-parent their sons, Yatra, 17, and Linga, 13.”

Last January, the duo announced separation after an 18-year-long marriage.

The source adds they both are busy with their careers: “Dhanush is engrossed in his upcoming project, Captain Miller, and he is also busy directing and starring in his 50th film. Meanwhile, Aishwaryaa is dedicating her time to the post-production work of Lal Salaam, in which her father, Rajinikanth, plays an extended cameo.”
