Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran, co-owner of the Sunrisers Hyderabad, are reportedly beginning their celebrations with an intimate ceremony in Greece. According to reports, they are due to marry on November 11, a day after an engagement ceremony.

The guest list suggests the occasion is more than a private affair. Superstar Rajinikanth, MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin have reportedly travelled to Greece, with film, politics and business all represented. An ivory, baroque-themed reception invitation has already gone viral.

A Chennai reception is reportedly planned for November 21.

The composer who found his fortune in a ‘Kolaveri’

Anirudh’s career began with ‘Why This Kolaveri Di’, the song that made him famous well beyond the south. Since then he has scored some of the biggest Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films, and he is now among the most sought-after musicians in the country.

Pinkvilla puts his net worth at around Rs 50 crore. Much of it comes from fees that rank among the highest in the film industry. The same report says he charges roughly Rs 8 crore to Rs 10 crore a film, and that some projects reportedly paid between Rs 10 crore and Rs 12 crore.

His next big collaboration could dwarf those figures. For the upcoming film with Allu Arjun and director Lokesh Kanagaraj, he was reportedly offered about Rs 25 crore. 

The full car collection is unverified, but a few vehicles have been reported. The best-known entry has a link to his bride’s family. After ‘Jailer’ became a hit in 2023, Kalanithi Maran, Kavya’s father, reportedly gave him a Porsche Macan worth about Rs 1.1 crore. The car is a sort of early sign of how the two families were connected. Beyond the Porsche, he is also reported to own a BMW iX1 LWB, a Mahindra BE 6 and a Ford Mustang GT.

In 2024, the South Indian filter coffee and snacks brand VS Mani & Co brought him on as a co-founder and brand ambassador. According to Moneycontrol, he also received an equity stake, which gives him a business interest apart from his earnings in entertainment.

The executive in the yellow jersey

Kavya Maran is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran, executive director at Sun TV Network, and CEO and co-owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad. ETimes estimates her net worth at between Rs 400 crore and Rs 500 crore.

Her route to the top was a mix of education and early responsibility. After an MBA at Warwick Business School in the UK, she joined Sun TV Network as an executive director in 2019. She then took on a leadership role at Sunrisers Hyderabad, the IPL franchise her father bought in 2017. She remains closely involved in the family’s wider business operations.

Kavya’s own fortune is small next to her family’s. Her father is estimated to be worth Rs 24,600 crore and was ranked 146th on the Hurun Rich List 2026, which makes him one of India’s wealthiest media entrepreneurs. Within entertainment, he trails only T-Series owner Bhushan Kumar, whose wealth is put at Rs 36,300 crore.

A Forbes report published on February gives Kalanithi an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion, or about Rs 23,725 crore.

Kalanithi’s story began in the family’s publishing business. In 1993 he founded Sun TV Network, which grew under his leadership into one of the country’s largest regional media groups. According to reports, it now runs 37 television channels that reach more than 140 million households.
