Anirudh and Kavya Maran's reception card is for November 21 in Chennai.

Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran have a reception card for November 21 at the ITC Grand Chola in Chennai. Talk of a private ceremony in Greece still has no printed invitation.

Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran have a reception card. It is for Saturday, November 21, at 6:30 p.m., at the ITC Grand Chola on Anna Salai in Chennai.

M.K. Stalin signed it. Her grandfather was Murasoli Maran, Karunanidhi's nephew, and Stalin is the elder whose name is on the invitation.

Kalanithi Maran, who built Sun TV, and Kavery Maran have been taking the card around in person. They gave one to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Anirudh's parents, Lakshmi and Ravichander, were with them.

They also gave one to Vijay, the actor from Leo, who is Tamil Nadu's chief minister now. Anirudh scored that film, and he went with them.

Telangana chief minister A. Revanth Reddy's office posted the Chennai date after Kavya's parents visited him at home in Hyderabad. None of these leaders have said they are coming.

If you know Anirudh from a song, it is probably "Why This Kolaveri Di." He also scored Jailer for Sun Pictures, her family's studio.

Rajinikanth starred in it. He is Anirudh's uncle, through his aunt Latha.

Kavya runs Sunrisers Hyderabad, the IPL team, and she is an executive director at Sun TV.

In June 2025, when this was still a rumor, he posted, "Marriage ah? lol. Chill out guys." He and Kavya have still not posted the card themselves.

The other date

People are also talking about a private ceremony in Greece on November 10 and 11. No printed invitation has gone out for that one.

The version going around says it is not in Santorini. Guests are being told in person, and the Marans are said to be arranging the flights and the hotels.

Our take: write down November 21. That card has a time and a hotel, and it is a family reception. November 10 and 11 can wait until a card exists.
