The music composer and playback singer has long been identified as a CSK supporter, creating a clash of IPL franchise loyalty with Kavya, who is one of the most recognisable faces of the Hyderabad franchise.

The CSK-SRH rivalry has now taken an interesting twist, with fans on social media wondering whether Anirudh will continue backing the five-time IPL champions or switch his allegiance to Sunrisers Hyderabad after marrying Kavya. Several posts have gone viral highlighting the couple's contrasting loyalties to IPL teams.

Fans jokingly questioned whether Anirudh would finally change his stance and support SRH for Kavya post-marriage.
