The wedding has attracted considerable attention, not only because of the couple's profiles but also because of the prominent personalities connected to their respective worlds.

Several well-known figures were associated with the Greece celebrations. Superstar Rajinikanth was spotted at the airport with his family as they travelled to Greece ahead of the wedding. Former Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin and his family were also seen at the airport.
Photographs and videos of prominent guests travelling for the celebrations circulated on social media.
Anirudh wore an ivory kurta and matching veshti, complemented by a long embroidered jacket. Kavya chose a blush-pink lehenga with intricate embroidery and sequin detailing, accessorized with a statement choker and earrings.
The couple coordinated their looks in pastel shades for their wedding photographs.
Chennai reception expected to attract prominent guests
Following the Greece ceremony, Anirudh and Kavya are expected to host a grand reception in Chennai on November 21.
The date was confirmed through a post shared by the Telangana Chief Minister's Office after Kavya's parents, Kalanithi Maran and Kavery Maran, met Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy and invited him to the celebrations.
Several political leaders have reportedly been invited, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, as well as Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and MK Stalin are also among the names mentioned in reports.
The reported film industry guest list includes Rajinikanth, AR Rahman, Kamal Haasan, Dhanush and Ajith Kumar. Allu Arjun, Sivakarthikeyan, director Nelson Dilipkumar, Andrea Jeremiah and Sooraj Venjaramoodu are also among the personalities reportedly invited.
Kavya's association with Sunrisers Hyderabad has also brought cricket into the spotlight. Players including Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan are among those expected to attend, according to reports.
The wider guest list has not been independently confirmed, and the reported invitations should not be taken as confirmation of attendance.
Who are Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran?
Anirudh became widely known after composing Why This Kolaveri Di, featuring actor Dhanush. He has since established himself as a prominent music director in Indian cinema, working on films across several industries.
His credits include projects featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Pawan Kalyan and Vijay. His upcoming work includes Rajinikanth's Jailer 2.
Kavya is the CEO of Sunrisers Hyderabad and a director at Sun TV Network, the media company founded by her father, Kalanithi Maran. She completed her MBA at Warwick Business School in the UK before joining Sun TV Network as an executive director in 2019. She later took on a leadership role with the IPL franchise, which her father acquired in 2017.
Marriage speculation surrounding the pair had circulated before the wedding. In June 2025, Anirudh dismissed the rumors on social media, writing: "Marriage ah? lol... Chill out, guys. Please stop spreading rumours."
In June 2026, his uncle and actor Y Gee Mahendra appeared to confirm the wedding plans during an interview with KPTV. He said he had been told the marriage was a certainty.
The couple's Greece wedding has now brought that speculation to an end, with their Chennai reception expected to be the next major celebration.
