Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran are set to marry, marking the union of two influential families from the spheres of Indian cinema, media, and sports. As the wedding celebrations approach, the couple’s families have begun extending formal invitations for a reception scheduled to be held in Chennai on November 21, drawing a guest list of prominent political and public figures.
Kavya’s parents, Kalanithi and Kavery Maran, have personally met with several senior leaders in New Delhi to invite them to the upcoming event. Among those invited are Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The Sun TV Network officially confirmed these meetings through their social media channels, sharing photographs of Kalanithi Maran presenting the invitations to both leaders in the national capital. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi was reported to be present during the meeting with Sonia Gandhi.
The guest list for the Chennai reception is notably expansive, spanning various political parties and regional leadership. Invitations have been extended to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. The Maran family met with Revanth Reddy at his residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, to personally invite him to the occasion. Additionally, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin are among the high-profile individuals on the invitation list. Kalanithi and Kavery Maran also met with the Prime Minister, accompanied by Anirudh’s parents, actor Ravi Raghavendra and Lakshmi Ravichander, to extend their invitation.
Reports indicate that the wedding itself is planned as an intimate affair set to take place over two days in Greece, currently slated for November 10 and 11. While speculation regarding the specific location of the ceremony has circulated, recent reports suggest that the event will not be held in Santorini. The Maran family is reportedly overseeing travel and accommodation logistics for a select group of close family and friends who have been invited to attend the Greece ceremony.
The anticipation surrounding the marriage follows earlier public acknowledgments of the couple’s plans. In June 2026, actor Y Gee Mahendra, who is Anirudh’s uncle, confirmed the upcoming nuptials in an interview with KPTV, offering his congratulations to the couple. Anirudh Ravichander has established himself as a leading music composer in Indian cinema, with a portfolio of soundtracks for major films including Leo, Indian 2, Vettaiyan, Vidaamuyarchi, and Coolie.
Kavya Maran, meanwhile, is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and is actively involved in the operations of the Sun TV Network and the Indian Premier League franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad. The upcoming festivities have already seen a high level of engagement from the film industry. On October 22, 2026, Anirudh hosted a star-studded Navaratri puja at his residence, which was attended by several notable figures from Tamil cinema, including Rajinikanth, Sivakarthikeyan, Shalini Ajith Kumar, and director Nelson Dilipkumar.
As the November 21 reception date nears, the guest list continues to reflect the broad reach of the two families across the Indian entertainment and political landscapes. The event is expected to be one of the most high-profile social gatherings of the year, bringing together dignitaries from various parts of the country to celebrate the union in Chennai.
