Dayanidhi Maran has accused his brother, Kalanithi Maran, of fraudulently taking control of the family-owned Sun TV Network that is valued at over Rs 24,000 crore.
Chennai:DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran and his brother, Kalanithi Maran, are set to face-off for control of the family-owned Sun TV Network - India's largest listed media organisation with a valuation in excess of Rs 24,400 crore as of June 2025, and a hugely influential digital and broadcast platform in Tamil Nadu.
Dayanidhi Maran has sent a legal notice accusing his brother of a "premeditated fraudulent scheme" to grab control of the company after the death of their father, Murasoli Maran, in 2003.
The notice also named Kalanithi Maran's wife, Kavery, and six others, and claims he committed a breach of trust, as well as financial mismanagement, in gaining control of the network.
Dayanidhi Maran said he would seek a probe by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office.
In an exchange filing Friday Sun TV said "all acts have been done in accordance with legal obligations" and noted the issue dates back 22 years to when it was "a closely-held private limited company".
