Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran Wed in Greece; Chennai Reception Set for November 21

A quiet ceremony abroad

Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran, chief executive of the Sunrisers Hyderabad cricket franchise, have married in Greece. The couple had kept their plans largely private, and news of the marriage emerged only as the celebrations unfolded. Their wedding is reported to have taken place on November 11, following a traditional Tamil engagement ceremony the previous day.

Guests at the gatherings were limited to close relatives and a small circle of invitees. Among those who travelled to Greece were Anirudh’s uncle, the actor Rajinikanth, and his cousin Aishwarya Rajinikanth. Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin and his son Udhayanidhi Stalin were also reported to be in attendance.

First photograph shared

Hours after the ceremony, Anirudh posted the couple’s first picture together on Instagram. The image shows the two in coordinated pastel outfits, smiling as flower petals fall around them against a white floral backdrop. Alongside it he wrote, “My once in a lifetime, for a lifetime,” and added the date, 11.11.

The post drew a wave of congratulations from fans and figures in the film industry, including the actor Pooja Hegde, who wrote a short message of good wishes.

Chennai reception planned

The couple’s families are expected to host a reception in Chennai on November 21. Invitations reportedly went out in advance to figures across cinema, politics, business and cricket. An elaborately handcrafted invitation card had circulated online ahead of the wedding, and the Telangana Chief Minister’s Office indicated in October that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had been invited on behalf of Kavya’s parents, Kalanithi and Kavery Maran.

Background

Anirudh is among the most in-demand composers in South Indian cinema. He rose to prominence with the soundtrack of the film 3, including the widely shared song “Why This Kolaveri Di,” and has since scored hits such as Kaththi, Master, Vikram, Jailer, Leo and Coolie. He also made his Hindi film debut with Jawan in 2023. Kavya is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and serves as an executive director at Sun TV Network alongside her role leading Sunrisers Hyderabad.

What next

The Chennai reception on November 21 is the next public event expected from the couple. Further details about attendees and the formal celebrations are likely to emerge closer to the date.
