Tamil film composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO Kaviya Maran got married in an intimate wedding in Greece on November 11. Ravichander posted dazzling pictures from the ceremony on his Instagram with the caption, "My once in a lifetime, for a lifetime. 11.11."
Among the pictures shared by the newlyweds, we also see Superstar Rajinikanth and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin blessing the couple. The couple reportedly got engaged ahead of the wedding, on 10 November, according to NDTV.
While Ravichander paired a Tamil style silk dhoti with a gold blazer, Kaviya went for an intricate blush-pink lehenga draped like sari. Both their outfits were designed by Tarun Tahiliani and styled by Ami Patel and Pallavi Singh. While some speculate that the couple married in a self-respect ceremony (translated from the Tamil marriage practice, Suyamariyathai Thirumanam), one that typically takes place without a priest, this remains to be officially confirmed.
Kaviya also serves as executive director of Sun TV Network and is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran. Anirudh’s credits include modern Tamil cinema hits such as Velaiyilla Pattathari, Kaththi, Petta, Master, Vikram, Jailer, Leo, and most recently, Tamil cinema's biggest grosser, Jailer 2, which was also backed by Maran's Sun Pictures.
Sources said the meals at the wedding were handled by catering company Arusuvai Arasu Natarajan, which is known for serving high-profile celebrity events.
The Chennai reception is scheduled for 21 November. The Telangana Chief Minister’s Office had confirmed the date in October, after Kalanithi Maran and Kaveri Maran met Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and invited him in person. The couple’s invitation box, done in ivory and powder blue, has also drawn attention. Designer Ranjini Iyengar told Mid-day that Anirudh and Kavya took an active part in shaping the design.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and several leading film personalities have reportedly been invited to the reception. Several names from politics, sport and cinema are expected to be present at the Chennai celebration on 21 November, with the guest list reportedly stretching across all various circles.
