Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran Wedding: Greece Date, Chennai Reception and Full Guest List

The biggest Tamil wedding of the year is almost here. Music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Sunrisers Hyderabad CEO Kavya Maran are reportedly tying the knot in Greece tomorrow, and the guest flights have already started.

Reports say Rajinikanth, MK Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin have left for the wedding. Back home, the families have spent weeks personally handing out invitations to prime ministers, chief ministers and superstars for the Chennai reception.

Here’s everything we know about the date, the venue, the guest list and that much-talked-about invitation box.

Anirudh and Kavya’s Wedding Date and Venue

According to multiple reports, the couple will marry in Greece on November 11. It’s being kept as an intimate destination ceremony, and neither family has publicly named the exact island or hotel.

That’s very much in character. Both families are famously private, and almost every detail so far has come from reports and from the people they have invited, not from the couple themselves.

The Chennai Reception on November 21

The one date that is officially on record is the reception. On October 16, the Telangana Chief Minister’s office posted that Kalanithi and Kaveri Maran had met CM A Revanth Reddy to invite him, and stated that the reception of Kavya Maran and Anirudh Ravichander would be held in Chennai on November 21.

Reports say the venue is ITC Grand Chola on Anna Salai, with the reception starting at 6:30 pm.

The Star-Studded Guest List

Sun TV chairman Kalanithi Maran and his wife Kaveri have been personally visiting leaders to hand over the invitation, sometimes with Anirudh and his parents in tow. Here’s who is reportedly on the list:

Politicians: PM Narendra Modi, Tamil Nadu CM C Joseph Vijay, MK Stalin, Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Nirmala Sitharaman, Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu and Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy.

Film stars: Rajinikanth (Anirudh’s uncle), Ajith Kumar and Shalini, Sivakarthikeyan, Allu Arjun, AR Rahman, director Nelson Dilipkumar, and Sneha and Prasanna, among others.

That Viral Invitation Box

The invitation itself has become a talking point. It was designed by Ranjani Iyengar of Pink Whistle Man and comes in an ivory and powder-blue keepsake box with embossed stationery and a vintage-style crest seal, inspired by Baroque design. Glimpses shared on social media went viral almost instantly.

From “Stop Spreading Rumours” to Wedding Bells

Rewind to 2025, and Anirudh was shutting down the gossip himself. When reports claimed a wedding was imminent, he posted on X asking people to “chill out” and stop spreading rumours.

A year on, the invitations are out, the reception date is official, and the guests are on their way. We first reported the wedding in October: Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran wedding confirmed.
