Music composer Anirudh Ravichander has taken a much-deserved break from his busy professional schedule following his recent wedding to Kavya Maran in Greece. While fans have been celebrating the couple’s wedding, his decision to step away from work has also drawn attention.
According to Valai Pechu hosts J Bismi, Anthanan and Sakthivel, Anirudh had already planned to stop accepting new projects after October. He is expected to stay away from his professional commitments until January 2027. His first project after the break is reportedly expected to be Kamal Haasan’s Sandiyar.
The film’s teaser was initially planned for release on Haasan’s birthday on November 7. However, Anirudh had not completed the background music. Rather than release an unfinished teaser, the team decided to unveil only the film’s first-look poster.
The makers of Sandiyar are now planning to release the teaser with Anirudh’s background music when the team begins its next shooting schedule. Reports also indicated that Anirudh’s wedding date had been fixed in advance, allowing the team to plan its work around his break.
Apart from Kamal Haasan’s film, Anirudh had also informed other filmmakers about his plans.
Anirudh Ravichander and Kavya Maran had a unique wedding ceremony on November 11, as the couple opted for a self-respect marriage. DMK IT Wing Secretary Dr T R B Rajaa confirmed the nature of the ceremony.
He shared, “Kavya and Anirudh garlanded each other. Thalaivar handed over a chain to Kavya and Superstar handed over a chain to Anirudh. The bride and groom exchanged chains and an union of hearts was blessed by their friends and family.”
A self-respect marriage was introduced by social reformer Periyar EV Ramasamy in Tamil Nadu. In this form of wedding, the bride and groom promise to stay together and exchange garlands or rings in the presence of witnesses.
The ceremony gives couples the freedom to marry through a simple process based on equal rights and mutual respect. It became legally recognised in Tamil Nadu in 1967.
