Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad chief executive Kavya Maran have tied the knot in a destination wedding in Greece, bringing together two of the most prominent families in Tamil cinema, business and politics.
The couple married on Wednesday, 11 November, in an intimate ceremony attended by family members and a select group of guests. Hours after the wedding, Anirudh shared the first photograph with his wife on social media, writing: “My once in a lifetime, for a lifetime 11.11.”
In the photograph, Anirudh, 36, is seen wearing an ivory embroidered traditional ensemble, while Kavya, 34, looks radiant in a blush-pink embellished lehenga. The image quickly spread across social media, with fans and well-wishers from the film industry and beyond congratulating the couple.
The wedding celebrations began on 10 November with a traditional engagement ceremony and continued over two days. Among the high-profile guests who travelled to Greece were superstar Rajinikanth, Anirudh’s uncle, and his family, and former Tamil Nadu chief minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin and his son Udhayanidhi Stalin.
Anirudh is one of the most popular music composers in Indian cinema, known for his work across Tamil and Telugu films, while Kavya is the chief executive of the Sunrisers Hyderabad cricket team and a director at Sun TV Network. She is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran.
Reports of a wedding between the two had circulated for months, and speculation had grown through 2025 and into this year. In June 2025, Anirudh had dismissed the rumours on social media, writing: “Marriage ah? lol .. Chill out guys. Please stop spreading rumours.” The confirmation this week, with the photograph and the date, has ended months of speculation.
The guest list brought together prominent personalities from the worlds of cinema, politics, business and cricket, reflecting the standing of both families. Rajinikanth was spotted at the airport with his family as he headed to Greece, and Stalin and his son were also seen travelling for the celebrations.
Following the Greece wedding, the families are set to host a reception in Chennai on 21 November, giving friends and well-wishers in India another opportunity to celebrate with the couple. The date was confirmed through the Telangana Chief Minister’s Office.
For Anirudh, whose music has defined a generation of Tamil cinema, the wedding marks a personal milestone that has been followed closely by his fans. For Kavya, who has become one of the most visible faces of the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise in the Indian Premier League, it is a moment that has drawn attention well beyond the film world.
The couple have not yet spoken publicly beyond the photograph and its caption, and the families have asked for privacy around the private ceremony. The Chennai reception on 21 November is expected to be the larger public celebration.
