Kavya Maran and Anirudh Ravichander Wedding: Greece Ceremony, Chennai Reception and Everything We Know So Far
From "Marriage ah? Lol" to a destination wedding in Greece.
What a plot twist.
Anirudh Ravichander, the man behind half the songs on your Tamil playlist, and Kavya Maran, the face of Sunrisers Hyderabad you've seen reacting to every six on IPL broadcasts, are reportedly getting married this week.
Here's everything we know, and, just as importantly, what is still only being reported.
The wedding: Greece, 10 and 11 November
According to multiple reports, the couple is having an intimate destination wedding in Greece, over two days: 10 and 11 November 2026. Only close family and friends are expected at the ceremony.
And the guests are already on the move. Rajinikanth and his family, and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, were seen heading to Greece, according to reports on 9 November.
The reception: Chennai, 21 November
The bigger celebration is reportedly a reception in Chennai on 21 November, at a luxury hotel, for the film, music, business and political crowd.
Here's what's actually on record. In October, the Telangana Chief Minister's Office posted that Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and his wife Kavery Maran met Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and invited him to their daughter's wedding reception. That's the closest thing to an official confirmation so far.
The invitation everyone is talking about
The reception invite went viral. It's reportedly an ivory and powder-blue keepsake box with embossed stationery, a vintage-style crest seal and Baroque-inspired details, designed by Ranjani Iyengar of Pink Whistle Man.
The guest list (reported)
Nothing is confirmed, but names being reported include:
Rajinikanth, who is family. His wife Latha is Anirudh's aunt.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Kamal Haasan, Ajith Kumar, Allu Arjun, AR Rahman and Sivakarthikeyan
Director Nelson Dilipkumar
Treat this list as "invited, reportedly", not "attending".
How we got here: the timeline
2025: A Reddit post claims the two have been dating and their families are talking marriage. The internet goes wild.
Mid-2025: Anirudh shuts it down on X: "Marriage ah? Lol... Chill out guys. Please stop spreading rumours."
June 2026: Anirudh's uncle, actor Y Gee Mahendra, says in an interview: "They are getting married."
October 2026: The Marans personally invite political leaders, and the Telangana CMO posts about it.
November 2026: Greece.
That "Lol" has aged beautifully.
Who are they?
Anirudh Ravichander is one of the biggest composers in Indian cinema, with music for films like Jailer, Vikram and Leo, and, as luck would have it, Jailer 2, which lands on Prime Video this week.
Kavya Maran is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and runs Sunrisers Hyderabad, where she has become a familiar face at IPL matches.
Put simply, it's a wedding between Tamil cinema's biggest music star and one of the most powerful media families in South India.
What's still unconfirmed
Let's be clear, because a lot of what's going around is speculation:
The couple and their families have not made an official public announcement.
The exact venue in Greece hasn't been officially revealed.
The guest list is reported, not confirmed.
We'll update this story as official pictures or statements come in.
My take
I love that it went from a laughing emoji to a Greek island in about a year. Anirudh has given us wedding songs for a decade. Now it's finally his turn.
Congratulations to the couple, if and when they make it official. And Anirudh, please, the playlist from this wedding needs to be released.
