The court of jurisdiction can be where last reside or married, however, wife can also file where she is residing presently.

1. At either of the places,

2. If it is mutual consent divorce petition, then it will be prudent for both of you to file it at Chennai.

Agreed with experts.
both places hv jurisdiction.

It is better to file at Chennai itself due to the employment commitments at Chennai, where it can be filed.
