How Kalanithi Maran Spent ₹37 Cr to Take Control of Sun
Mint Kolkata
|June 23, 2025
After a series of transactions ending with a 2005 bonus, Kalanithi held nearly 100% of Sun TV
How did media mogul Kalanithi Maran, who once held no shares in Sun TV Network Ltd, come to own all of it, sparking a family feud more than two decades later? In a legal notice dated 10 June, Kalanithi's brother and member of parliament Dayanidhi Maran questioned a series of transactions executed between 2003 and 2005—years when Sun TV was still a privately held company—alleging that Kalanithi quietly consolidated ownership while the family was grappling with a personal crisis. At the time, their father, former Union minister Murasoli Maran, was critically ill and subsequently passed away in 2003.
Mint breaks down the series of key transactions outlined in Dayanidhi's filing, which challenge Kalanithi's ownership.

Investors expect AI use to soar. That's not happening
An uncertain outlook for interest rates. Businesses may be holding off on investment until the fog clears. In addition, history suggests that technology tends to spread in fits and starts. Consider use of the computer within American households, where the speed of adoption slowed in the late 1980s. This was a mere blip before the 1990s, when they invaded American homes.

Can I claim TDS refund despite missing return filing deadline?
I am an NRI living in Dubai and have investments in Indian listed stocks. One of the companies I invested in, did a buyback in March, on which Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) was deducted. At that time, I was advised by a friend that I could claim a refund of TDS at the time of filing my tax return due to the benefits of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
