The relationship

Anirudh and Kavya’s relationship had been the subject of speculation for over a year before the wedding was confirmed. Anirudh had addressed the rumours at the time, asking fans to wait for an official announcement. The confirmation finally came with the engagement on November 10 and the wedding on November 11.

The families share deep roots in Tamil Nadu’s entertainment and media ecosystem. Anirudh is the son of actor Ravi Raghavendra and the nephew of Rajinikanth. His cousin Aishwarya Rajinikanth made her directorial debut with 3 (2012), which featured the viral hit ‘Why This Kolaveri Di’ and helped launch Anirudh’s career.

His discography includes scores for some of the biggest Indian films of the past decade, spanning Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema. His collaborations include films with Rajinikanth, Vijay, Kamal Haasan, Shah Rukh Khan, Jr NTR, and many others. He has also composed for Vetri Maaran’s upcoming Arasan with Silambarasan.
