Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran to Marry, Chennai Reception on November 21
No more rumours. Kavya Maran's parents have begun personally inviting top leaders, including Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and KTR, to her wedding reception with Anirudh Ravichander in Chennai on November 21.
After more than a year of denials, deflections and endless fan theories, the answer is finally in. Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran are getting married.
The confirmation did not come from a gossip channel this time. It came from the bride’s own parents. Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and his wife Kavery Maran have begun personally handing out invitations to the couple’s wedding reception, which will be held in Chennai on 21 November 2026.
And the news lands on a fitting day: Anirudh turns 36 today.
How the Wedding Was Confirmed
On Friday, the Maran couple met Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at his residence in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, and invited him to their daughter’s wedding reception. The Telangana Chief Minister’s Office shared a video and photos of the meeting on X, stating that the reception of Kavya Maran and Anirudh Ravichander will be held in Chennai on 21 November.
The couple also visited the Hyderabad residence of BRS working president KT Rama Rao and his wife Shailima, and handed them the invitation card in person. KTR extended his early wishes to the couple.
When a bride’s parents start delivering wedding cards to a sitting chief minister, the rumour phase is officially over.

From “Chill Out, Guys” to Wedding Cards
It is quite a turnaround. In June 2025, when social media first linked the two, Anirudh shut the talk down on X and asked people to stop spreading rumours. For months after that, he laughed off every wedding question thrown at him at public events.
The tide started turning this summer, when his uncle, veteran actor Y Gee Mahendran, said in an interview that the wedding was a sure thing. Reports of a November date and a Greece venue followed in August. Now the invitations have done the talking.
A Wedding That Brings Three Worlds Together
This is no ordinary celebrity marriage. It ties together three of South India’s most powerful spheres: cinema, cricket and media.
Anirudh is arguably the most in-demand music composer in Tamil cinema, with chartbusters for Rajinikanth, Vijay, Kamal Haasan and Shah Rukh Khan. Kavya is the CEO of IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad and the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran. The group runs one of India’s biggest TV networks and the production house Sun Pictures.
The two families also go back a long way professionally. Sun Pictures has produced several films with blockbuster Anirudh soundtracks, including Petta, Beast, Jailer and Coolie.
The early guest list already shows the reach. With invitations going to leaders across party lines in Telangana, the Chennai reception is shaping up as one of the biggest gatherings of film stars, cricketers, business leaders and politicians the city will see this year.
What to Watch Next
- More invitation visits: expect the Maran family to meet top leaders and film personalities in Tamil Nadu and beyond over the coming days.
- A word from the couple: Anirudh and Kavya have not posted anything themselves yet. A joint announcement on social media would be the next big moment for fans.
- Greece ceremony details: the exact date and venue of the wedding itself are still not officially out.
