Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran are set to marry in Greece today, Wednesday, November 11, in an intimate destination wedding that has brought some of the biggest names from cinema and politics to Europe.
The celebrations, spread over two days on November 10 and 11, have been kept deliberately private by the two families. But the guests travelling to Greece have made it one of the most talked-about weddings of the year.
A two-day celebration in Greece
According to reports, Anirudh and Kavya will exchange vows in Greece on November 10 and 11, with only close family members and a select group of friends in attendance. The exact venue has not been officially disclosed by the families, and reports have differed on the location, with some suggesting the ceremony is being held near Santorini.
The couple has kept its plans largely private. Neither Anirudh nor Kavya has publicly confirmed the details of the ceremony, and the families have not shared photographs or an official statement so far.
What is known is the scale of the arrangements. The Times of India has reported that four private aircraft were organised to fly guests to Greece for the wedding, a detail that underlines how closely guarded and carefully planned the two days have been.
Rajinikanth, MK Stalin among the guests
Superstar Rajinikanth was spotted at Chennai airport on Monday, November 9, travelling to Greece with his daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth. Anirudh is Rajinikanth’s nephew, and the superstar’s presence at the wedding was widely expected.
Former Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin and former deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin also left Chennai early on Monday to attend the wedding. According to a DT Next report, the father-son duo travelled via Dubai and are scheduled to attend the ceremony on Wednesday, November 11, before returning to Chennai in the early hours of November 13.
Their travel, captured in videos and photographs at the airport, set off a wave of excitement on social media, where fans have been tracking every update from the wedding.
A guest list full of big names
Reports suggest the invite list reads like a roll call of Indian cinema, politics, business and cricket. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, actor Ajith Kumar, Kamal Haasan and music composer AR Rahman are among those reported to have been invited.
It is important to note that these are reported invitations, not confirmed attendance. With the ceremony kept private, it is not yet clear which of the big names will actually be present in Greece.
Who are Anirudh and Kavya?
Anirudh is one of Tamil cinema’s most in-demand music composers, known for chartbusting scores in films such as Jailer, Vikram and the Hindi blockbuster Jawan. His songs regularly top streaming charts, and he has a huge following among young audiences across south India.
Kavya Maran is the chief executive officer of IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad and executive director of Sun TV Network. She is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and Kavery Maran, and she has become one of the most recognisable faces of the IPL, often spotted in the stands cheering for her team.
The two have known each other for years through Chennai’s film and business circles, though both have kept their personal lives out of the spotlight.
Chennai reception on November 21
For fans and well-wishers who will not be in Greece, the celebrations continue back home. The couple is expected to host a grand reception in Chennai on Saturday, November 21.
The reception date was confirmed in October, when the Telangana Chief Minister’s Office said Kalanithi and Kavery Maran had personally invited Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to the celebrations. Designer Ranjini Iyengar, who worked on the reception invitations, has said Anirudh and Kavya were personally involved in designing them.
More details, and possibly the first photographs, are expected once the families share them after the ceremony.
