Anirudh's journey

Anirudh Ravichander made his debut as a composer with Aishwarya Rajinikanth's 3 (2012). Its song Why This Kolaveri Di, sung by Dhanush, went viral across India and the world before the film even released.

Since then, he has become one of the busiest composers in Tamil cinema, scoring Lokesh Kanagaraj's Vikram (2022) and composing his first full Hindi album for Atlee's Jawan (2023), alongside his long run of Rajinikanth and Vijay films.

Kavya Maran and the Sun Group

Kavya Maran is the daughter of Kalanithi Maran, who chairs the Sun Group, the media company behind Sun TV and Sun Pictures. As the face of Sunrisers Hyderabad, she is one of the best-known team owners in the IPL, often seen in the stands during the team's matches.
