MK Stalin and Rajinikanth Head to Greece as SRH CEO Kaviya Maran and Anirudh Ravichander Prepare to Wed

Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO Kaviya Maran and renowned music composer Anirudh Ravichander are set to tie the knot in an intimate destination wedding in Greece this November. High-profile guests, including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, and superstar Rajinikanth, are heading to Greece to attend the celebrations.

The news of the upcoming nuptials brings together two prominent figures from the worlds of Indian cricket administration and South Indian film music. Maran, who leads the IPL franchise owned by the Sun Group, and Ravichander have reportedly finalized their wedding plans after weeks of mounting interest surrounding their relationship.

A baroque invitation box crafted as a keepsake

Ahead of the November ceremony in Europe, details and images of the couple’s wedding stationery have gone viral across social media platforms. Rather than distributing traditional printed cards, the couple designed an elaborate physical invitation package for their guests.

For instance, while standard wedding invites rely on single-sheet cardstock, this invitation box is structured as a baroque-inspired keepsake package. According to reports by The Times of India and iDiva, the invitation features damask-inspired prints, intricate embossed details, and custom wax seals. FilmiBeat also published a first look at a separate ivory reception card, which follows the same aesthetic with damask prints and embossed lettering, ahead of the main Greece festivities.

From the IPL auction table to Sunrisers Hyderabad leadership

Kaviya Maran is the Executive Director and CEO of the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise and the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran. She has been a core member of the franchise’s leadership team over recent years, routinely managing team operations and strategy at Indian Premier League events. Earlier this year, she was recognized as a winner at the 2024 Devi Awards held in Chennai.

Her visible presence at IPL auction tables turned her into a widely recognized face among cricket fans. Broadcast cameras at events like the IPL 2023 auction repeatedly panned towards the SRH camp as she directed bidding decisions. NDTV reported that despite the presence of high-profile figures such as Shah Rukh Khan’s children, Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan, at the auction venue, Maran emerged as one of the most trending personalities on social media.

Her animated celebrations from the stadium stands have also consistently generated widespread online attention during tournament matches. During an IPL game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad set a record total of 287 runs. Photos of Maran celebrating the historic score in the stands went viral across news platforms and sports pages.

Political leaders and film stars on the Greece guest list

The destination wedding in Greece will gather prominent political figures and top cinema personalities. Anirudh Ravichander, one of South Indian cinema’s leading music directors, is currently connected to major upcoming film projects, including the soundtrack for Jailer 2.

Actor Rajinikanth, who starred in the original Jailer film scored by Ravichander, is among the key attendees traveling to Greece for the private ceremony. The event will also be attended by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, reflecting long-standing ties between the state’s political leadership and the Maran family.

Following the private ceremony in Greece this November, the couple is expected to host a grand wedding reception in India, as indicated by the viral ivory reception invitations sent out to guests.
