BENGALURU: Sun TV Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and his wife, Kavery Maran, have reportedly invited Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to the wedding celebrations of their daughter, Kavya Maran, and music composer Anirudh Ravichander.
According to the information provided, the Maran family met Shivakumar in Bengaluru and presented him with a wedding invitation. Kavya Maran, who is associated with the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, reportedly accompanied her parents during the meeting.
The reported invitation comes as the Maran family begins reaching out to prominent personalities from politics, cinema, cricket and business ahead of the anticipated celebrations.
However, the specific meeting with Shivakumar has not been independently confirmed in the reports available.
Maran family reaches out to political leaders
Kalanithi Maran and Kavery Maran have reportedly been meeting political leaders to invite them to the celebrations. The family has also been linked to invitations extended to Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh has also reportedly received an invitation to the wedding reception. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is among the prominent political figures said to have been approached for the occasion.
The invitations have drawn attention because the proposed celebrations bring together personalities from several high-profile fields.
A report published on October 17 said the Maran family met Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy at his residence in Hyderabad. The Telangana Chief Minister’s Office confirmed that he had been invited to the Chennai reception scheduled for November 21, 2026.
Greece wedding and Chennai reception reported
Media reports have suggested that the wedding ceremony could take place in Greece on November 11, 2026, followed by a reception in Chennai on November 21.
While the Chennai reception date has been confirmed through the Telangana Chief Minister’s Office, the reported Greece wedding date has not been officially confirmed by the couple.
Further details about the ceremony, venue and guest list remain subject to official announcements.
Kavya Maran and Anirudh Ravichander in the spotlight
Kavya Maran is widely recognised for her association with Sunrisers Hyderabad, the IPL franchise owned by the Sun Group. She is the daughter of Kalanithi Maran, chairman of the media conglomerate.
Anirudh Ravichander is a prominent South Indian music composer known for his work across Tamil, Telugu and other Indian-language film industries. His music has featured in several commercially successful films, earning him a broad fan following.
Reports about the pair’s proposed wedding have generated considerable public interest. However, neither has publicly confirmed all the reported details of the wedding arrangements.
If confirmed, the celebrations are expected to draw guests from the entertainment, business and political worlds. For now, the Chennai reception scheduled for November 21 is the clearest publicly confirmed detail, while the reported wedding ceremony in Greece remains unverified.
