Thalapathy Vijay's son, Jason Sanjay, has confirmed that his father will not promote his directorial debut, the action-adventure film Sigma. Speaking at a promotional event in Hyderabad, Jason said the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu has too much responsibility to attend the promotions. He added that he wants the campaign to remain focused on the film.

"He is waiting for the release, but he has so much responsibility," Jason told reporters. Asked what gift Vijay gave him for the film, Jason pointed to his fans and said, "Everyone, all of them." The film stars Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah, with music by Thaman S. Sigma releases in Tamil and Telugu on October 2.
All three outlets report the same core fact: Vijay will not promote his son's film. Pinkvilla and Hindustan Times frame the story around the family rift rumours and the divorce, with Hindustan Times also leading with the detail that Jason dropped his father's initial. Times of India omits both the rift and the initial change, framing the story purely as a professional decision by a debutant director. The neutral reading is that Jason gave a single clear reason, Vijay is now the Chief Minister with responsibilities, and Jason wants the promotions to be about the film, not his father. The divorce and initial-change rumours remain unconfirmed by the sources. The next concrete event is the audio and trailer launch in Chennai on September 18.
