Anirudh and Kavya Maran married: first wedding photos

Ivory, pearls and white flowers on the Greek coast, Rajinikanth and Stalin in the front row, and a Chennai reception on November 21 still to come.

Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran are married. The composer and the Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO wed on Wednesday, November 11, in an intimate ceremony in Greece, and Anirudh shared the first photo himself that evening. “My once in a lifetime, for a lifetime,” he wrote, signing it with a heart and the date, 11.11.

Sun Pictures, the production house run by Kavya’s father Kalanithi Maran, followed within minutes with photos from the ceremony, congratulating “Kaviya and Anirudh”, the spelling the family uses. Sun News carried more. Between them, these are all the photos out so far.

The look was ivory and blush throughout: coordinated embroidered outfits, layered pearl jewellery and an altar built almost entirely of white flowers, set against the sea. For the family portrait, the couple posed in garlands alongside Rajinikanth, MK Stalin and Kalanithi Maran.

The guest list was family on both sides, which in this case is a guest list that spans Tamil cinema and Tamil Nadu politics. Rajinikanth is Anirudh’s uncle by marriage, and Kavya’s grandfather Murasoli Maran was M Karunanidhi’s nephew. Both families flew out of Chennai on Monday, and the celebrations began with an engagement on November 10, attended by Rajinikanth, Aishwarya Rajinikanth, MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin.

Anirudh later posted a second set of pictures, the couple in Indo-Western festive wear.

For a couple this visible, they kept it remarkably quiet. Talk of a relationship first picked up in 2024, after they were seen together abroad, including in Las Vegas. Neither confirmed it, and as late as June 2025 Anirudh was dismissing marriage rumours on X. The first real confirmation came in October, when Kalanithi Maran was photographed inviting Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to the wedding.

The families have been working together for years. Sun Pictures produced Petta, Jailer, Coolie and Jailer 2, all starring Rajinikanth and all scored by Anirudh. Kavya, the daughter of Kalanithi Maran, runs Sunrisers Hyderabad and is an executive director at Sun TV Network.

Greece was the private part. The public one is the reception in Chennai on November 21, where the families are expected to host names from cinema, politics, business and cricket.
