Actor
Prakash
Raj
(Prakash
Rai)
and
his
wife
actress
Lalitha
Kumari
have
filed
a
joint
petition
for
divorce
by
mutual
consent
on
Friday.
The
star
couple
arrived
to
the
Egmore
family
court
together
to
file
the
petition.
The
mutual
settlement
is
expected
to
come
out
on
November
18.
Now,
the
couple's
advocates
have
worked
out
an
out-of-court
settlement,
following
which
they
have
filed
a
joint
application
for
divorce
by
mutual
consent.
After
hearing
from
the
couple
about
the
settlement
for
an
hour,
the
judge
adjourned
the
court
to
November
18
for
further
proceedings.
The
National
Award
winning
actor
had
married
the
actress
15
years
ago
and
he
had
filed
for
divorce
and
was
living
separately
for
about
a
year
now.
Later,
she
again
moved
the
family
court
seeking
a
monthly
maintenance
amount
of
at
least
Rs
2
lakh
for
their
two
daughter.
However,
Lalitha
Kumari's
sister
Disco
Shanthi
and
her
husband
actor
Srihari
had
tried
to
mediate
and
sort
out
the
differences
earlier
this
year,
but
in
vain.
