Two years after announcing their separation, actor Dhanush, 40, and director Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, 42, have officially filed for divorce. They will have an amicable separation and Aishwaryaa will have primary custody of their sons, Yatra and Linga.

A source tells us, “They have officially filed for divorce in Chennai. They haven’t been living together since their separation in 2022 and were focusing on healing, and now, they want to move on in their lives.”

The source adds, “There won’t be a fight in court or any mud-slinging. It’s going to be an amicable process. They’ve made peace with the turn of events in their life and accepted they can’t be together. They respect each other.”

The couple got married in 2004 and in January 2022, they announced their separation in a joint statement they posted on social media.

They are “co-parenting their sons” and are “cordial” with each other. The source adds, “The primary custody is expected to go to Aishwaryaa and Dhanush isn’t contesting it. That being said, he is always there for his children. They are in active discussions with their kids to help them sail the divorce process smoothly.”
