Is Anirudh Ravichander marrying Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran? He responds
Music composer Anirudh Ravichander has responded to rumours of him tying the knot with Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner Kavya Maran soon. After a day of Reddit going into overdrive and believing the two are dating and will be married soon, spawning numerous reports, the composer would like everyone to 'chill out'.

Numerous reports based on the Reddit post came out on Saturday claiming that Anirudh and Kavya have been dating for a while now and are ready to make it official. Anirudh, however, seems oblivious to these plans, given that he denied that anything of the sort is happening. He took to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday evening and wrote, 'Marriage ah? lol .. Chill out guys, pls stop spreading rumours.' He did not address rumours of him dating Kavya, however, especially given that some people claimed to have seen them on a dinner date recently.
This comes after Redditors floated a story that Anirudh and Kavya began dating a year ago and that wedding preparations are underway. A post on the platform claimed, 'It is being speculated that music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran – daughter of Sun TV's Kalanithi Maran and owner of the Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL team – are in a relationship. Reports suggest that superstar Rajinikanth has personally spoken to Kalanithi Maran about their relationship, leading to expectations that the couple may tie the knot soon.'
For the uninitiated, Anirudh is the son of actor Ravi Raghavendra and classical dancer Lakshmi and the grandson of filmmaker K Subramanyam. His aunt, Latha, is married to Rajinikanth. He has composed music for numerous South stars, including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijay, Ajith Kumar, Suriya, Pawan Kalyan, and Jr NTR. He even got his big Bollywood break with Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. Kavya is the daughter of Sun Group chairman Kalanithi Maran and the co-owner of the IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad. She is often spotted at IPL matches supporting her team.

‘What wrong is Deepika demanding?': Kajol and Rani did 8-hour shifts too, says director Siddharth P. Malhotra as Bollywood debate heats up
Last month, reports broke that Deepika Padukone had stepped away from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's much-anticipated Telugu cop drama Spirit . The reason? Her request for an eight-hour workday . The demand, made just eight months after the birth of her daughter Dua Padukone, sparked debate across the industry and social media, with many questioning whether actors should dictate such terms in big-budget productions. Now, director Siddharth P Malhotra has come out in her support, pointing out that such working conditions are not only reasonable but have long existed in the industry. 'She's asking for family time, what wrong...' Speaking to IANS, Malhotra recalled wrapping his 2018 film Hichki —starring Rani Mukerji—in just 28 eight-hour shifts. The film, produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films , marked Rani's return to the screen after giving birth to her daughter Adira in 2015. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I Tried the $0.87 Generic Viagra and Here's What Happened! fridayplans Learn More Undo 'For 14 months, I have been there in front of her face. So I kept asking myself, 'Is it going to be worth it?'' Rani had shared in a past interview, reflecting on her emotional struggle as a new mother rejoining work. But Malhotra confirmed the working hours were kept tight and clear. 'She's asking for family time, what wrong is she demanding?' he asked bluntly. 'People are just gaining publicity in the name of Deepika Padukone.'

'When I shot with Kajol in 2010, she used to do eight-hour shifts. She made it very clear she'd either come from 10 am to 6 pm or 7 am to 2 pm,' he said, underscoring that the practice predates the current noise around Deepika's decision. Kajol recently echoed this sentiment to PTI, stating, 'I didn't work for 20 or 30 hours. I was always very clear that we would work a certain amount only, and my mom (veteran actor Tanuja) also backed me up big time on it.' 'If It Doesn't Suit You, Don't Work With Her' Malhotra believes that directors should match their production plans with the availability of their actors—especially when such conditions are set transparently from the outset.

Here is what we know 'If Deepika Padukone has made these conditions clear right from the start, then the director shouldn't work with her if it doesn't suit them,' he said. 'If I need an actor and am confident I can finish the film within those working hours, I'd work with them even for six hours a day.' He added that if Vanga's vision for Spirit required longer working hours, he was within his rights to recast. And that's exactly what has happened: Vanga has now brought Animal star Triptii Dimri on board as the lead opposite Prabhas in the film. While the industry is known for grueling shifts and punishing timelines, the conversation sparked by Padukone's stance opens a new chapter—one that addresses work-life balance , especially for women returning to work post-motherhood.
