Inside the Maran family feud: Will the fight over Sun TV empire singe DMK?
One of Tamil Nadu's most powerful political and business dynasties, the Maran family is now at the centre of a rare, public rupture that threatens not only its reputation but also the image of the DMK, the party it has long been tethered to. At the heart of the rift is a legal notice that DMK MP and former Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran has issued to his elder brother and media baron Kalanithi, accusing him of fraudulent share allotments and corporate misgovernance in their flagship company Sun TV Network Limited. Sun TV Friday responded to media reports stemming from the notice. In a filing to the stock exchanges under SEBI Regulation 30, the company stated, 'The alleged matter dates back to 22 years, when the company was a closely held private limited Company. The statements allegedly made in the articles are incorrect, misleading, speculative, defamatory and not supported by facts or law. We wish to inform you that all acts have been done in accordance with legal obligations and the same had been duly vetted by concerned intermediaries before the public issue of the Company.' The company said the dispute 'does not have any bearing on the business of the Company or its day-to-day functioning' and emphasised it was a personal matter between members of the promoter family. Still, the damage may already be done. A senior DMK functionary called the dispute 'deeply embarrassing not only for the Marans, but for the party as well'. According to top party sources, DMK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin attempted to mediate between the Maran brothers on at least two occasions in the past three months. 'Even their sister Anbukkarasi was ready for a compromise as Stalin suggested. Kalanithi was also open. But Dayanidhi refused to listen. He took the legal route, ignoring the larger political consequences. When brothers fight over thousands of crores, people will begin asking how they made this much money, eventually putting DMK at the receiving end,' said a DMK source. The roots of the family's influence lie in the life and career of Murasoli Maran (1934-2003), the trusted nephew of DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi. Maran was a key architect of the DMK's outreach to the national political stage, serving as its voice in New Delhi for decades. Fluent in both Tamil and English, he was widely respected as the party's strategist and troubleshooter in coalition-era politics. From his early days of helping Karunanidhi in film productions, writing, and as the editor of Murasoli, the party's Tamil daily, to his later role as Union Minister in multiple Central governments, Maran left an imprint that extended far beyond Tamil Nadu. He served as the Minister for Commerce and Industry from 1999 to 2003 in Atal Bihari Vajpayee's NDA government. He was also known for his accessibility, and for those who could not directly reach Karunanidhi, he was the gateway. Kalanithi, his elder son, began with a small video business called Poomalai, producing and selling private programs on VHS cassettes. In 1993, he launched Sun TV, which initially broadcast from Singapore. The timing was impeccable as, at the time, India was transitioning from the Doordarshan monopoly to the cable revolution. Sun TV quickly became synonymous with Tamil entertainment, and 'taking a Sun TV connection' became a household phrase. With the backing of the DMK and a knack for market instincts, Kalanithi built the Sun Group into one of India's largest regional media empires, spanning television, radio, print, sports, cinema, and aviation. His Sumangali Cable Vision (SCV) network also drew attention when the Karunanidhi regime introduced free colour televisions, a move seen by critics as beneficial to the company. Yet, Kalanithi's political neutrality served him well. 'He maintained a corporate image and stayed away from party politics, even though Sun News editorially leans toward Dravidian ideology,' said a media industry insider. That approach helped him avoid regulatory entanglements and expand operations across southern India. In contrast, Dayanidhi entered politics through his father's legacy. Educated at Loyola College, he was seen as a modern, business-savvy face in the DMK. As Telecom Minister (2004–2007), he pushed for lower call rates and foreign investments. But his tenure was later mired in allegations: first in the 2G spectrum case, then the Aircel-Maxis deal, and finally the telephone exchange scandal. Though acquitted in several instances, his political capital steadily declined. In 2007, the Marans' newspaper Dinakaran published a survey asking readers who should succeed Karunanidhi. Stalin topped the poll, Dayanidhi came second, and M K Alagiri, Stalin's elder brother, came third. Furious at the result, Alagiri's supporters attacked the Dinakaran office in Madurai. Three employees of the newspaper died in the violence, marking one of the lowest points in the DMK's history. Karunanidhi was in the Assembly when he was informed of the attack, with a state intelligence officer passing on the message in a half-page handwritten note in Tamil. The CM reportedly began correcting spelling mistakes in the note, with the reaction read by many as his cold detachment. With Kalanithi backing Dayanidhi, who was widely blamed for the poll, the incident created a long rift between the Maran brothers and DMK's first family. The legal notice by Dayanidhi alleges Kalanithi allotted himself 12 lakh equity shares in Sun TV in 2003 at a face value of Rs 10 each, without proper approval and at a time when their father was in a coma. The move, the DMK MP alleges, gave Kalanithi a 60% stake and reduced the holdings of the Maran and Karunanidhi families from 50% each to 20%. 'Karunanidhi would have settled this. Stalin isn't that type,' said a DMK minister. The notice also claims that the shares, worth over Rs 3,500 crore at fair market value, were acquired for just Rs 1.2 crore, and Kalanithi later misused company resources to enrich himself. It lists possible violations under corporate law, the Indian Penal Code, and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Sun TV pushed back firmly Friday, calling the accusations 'defamatory' and stating that 'all acts have been done in accordance with legal obligations … duly vetted before the public issue of the company'. DMK insiders see Dayanidhi's move as a political gamble with little upside. 'He is isolated now. Udhayanidhi Stalin (the CM's son) is his only link to the leadership now. And even that window may be closing soon,' said a party insider.

Lights, camera, crisis? Hindi films struggle despite 27% box office jump
Film producers and distributors say the 27 per cent jump in all-India box-office earnings during the first five months of 2025 hides a much grimmer reality. Despite total receipts climbing to ₹4,812 crore from ₹3,791 crore a year earlier, industry insiders describe an 'existential' crisis and an atmosphere of 'nervousness' across the sector, The Economic Times reported. 'Are we looking at numbers or real growth? Last year was an election year. So, it seems there is growth in collection. There is a huge difference between film business in multiplexes and the B-class and C-class centres,' said Yusuf Shaikh, CEO and founder of Janta Cinema, quoted by The Economic Times. Lack of mass entertainers Shaikh mentions the theatres' core audience — the masses — now struggle to find 'credible mass entertainers' on screen. A veteran distributor said that the ritual of weekly movie-going has faded. He said that the audience, for whom watching films in theatres was a ritual, is missing. This has impacted the average opening and collection of Hindi films. Data from Ormax Media underscore the shift. Non-Hindi titles — ranging from English to various regional languages — accounted for 63 per cent of nationwide box-office takings between January and May, only slightly lower than the 67 per cent share logged a year earlier. Hindi films improved their share to 37 per cent, buoyed by hits such as Chhaava and Raid 2, The Economic Times report mentioned. Dependence on big-budget releases Yet a handful of successes cannot reverse broader structural issues, warns media-ech consultant Prashen Kayla. 'One or two hits do not promise change in the business situation. The Hindi film industry is disproportionately dependent on big-budget films. Today, the industry needs more successful mid-budget films,' he said, as quoted by the report. Aamir Khan calls OTT a threat to Hindi cinema Bollywood actor Aamir Khan expressed concern over the growing trend of releasing Hindi films on OTT platforms shortly after their theatrical debut. According to him, this practice undermines the theatrical business model, especially when going to the cinema is increasingly viewed as a premium experience rather than a regular habit. In a conversation with screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar, the issue of Hindi cinema's disconnect with audiences was brought up. Akhtar pointed out, 'The [Hindi] films have lost all connectivity with the audience. Dubbed South Indian films, featuring stars who are unknown to audiences here in North India, are releasing and doing ₹600–700 crore business. Even the few of our films that end up working are also directed by people from the South. What happened to our people?' Khan responded that the challenge is not about regional differences. 'The problem we are facing is something different,' he explained. He criticised the current model of content distribution in the industry: 'Please come and consume our product. If you don't, we'll come and drop it off at your doorstep in eight weeks (through OTT platforms). This is our business model.' OTT platforms reshape viewing habits The rise of OTT platforms has fundamentally altered how audiences consume films. Viewers now prefer the flexibility and affordability of streaming content from the comfort of their homes. Unlike cinemas, OTT allows for on-demand access with features such as pause, rewind, and fast-forward. Subscription costs are also considerably lower than the expenses associated with a theatrical outing. Younger viewers, in particular, have embraced this shift, leading to a decline in habitual theatre-going. While theatres still offer a unique and immersive viewing experience, they have responded by enhancing their offerings — introducing high-end formats like IMAX, luxury recliners, and gourmet concessions — to attract audiences seeking something beyond the standard home setup.
