The wedding reception invitation for music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran has gained significant attention online due to its intricate design. The couple, who are set to marry in November 2026, has scheduled their reception for November 21 in Chennai. The invitation was crafted by designer Ranjani Iyengar of Pink Whistle Man and features a sophisticated aesthetic, presented in an ivory-and-powder-blue keepsake box complete with embossed stationery and a formal crest seal.
As the date approaches, reports have emerged regarding a high-profile guest list. The families have personally extended invitations to several key political figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom the families met in person to invite. Other notable political figures reportedly on the list include Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin, Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. The Telangana Chief Minister’s Office confirmed the reception date following a meeting between the Maran family and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at his residence.
In addition to political leaders, the guest list reportedly includes prominent personalities from the film industry. Among those linked to the upcoming celebrations are Rajinikanth, who is Anirudh’s uncle, as well as music composer AR Rahman, actor Ajith Kumar, director Nelson Dilipkumar, actor Sivakarthikeyan, and Telugu star Allu Arjun. The planning for the event is being overseen by the Maran family, representing a major social event in the industry.
While the Chennai reception will mark the formal celebration in India, reports suggest that the wedding itself will take place earlier in November. The marriage is expected to be a two-day, intimate affair held on November 10 and 11 in Greece. The Maran family is reportedly managing the logistical arrangements for the trip, including travel and accommodation for a select group of close family and friends.
Anirudh Ravichander has established himself as a prominent composer in the Indian film industry, gaining widespread recognition with his debut hit, "Why This Kolaveri Di." His recent professional credits include work on the film Jailer 2, produced by Sun Pictures. Kavya Maran, daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran, serves as the CEO and co-owner of the IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad. She joined the Sun TV Network as an executive director in 2019 after completing her MBA at Warwick Business School in the United Kingdom.
The Maran family’s business interests are extensive, with the Sun TV Network operating television channels in multiple languages. Kalanithi Maran’s reported net worth is estimated at Rs 24,600 crore, while the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise, which was acquired by the family in 2017, is valued between Rs 17,500 crore and Rs 18,400 crore. As the wedding preparations continue, the viral reception invite has served as a focal point for media coverage surrounding the union of these two influential families.
