The long-standing family dispute in the Sun TV Network between Dayanidhi Maran and Kalanithi Maran has come to an amicable end. Dayanidhi has officially withdrawn his legal notice against his elder brother following the intervention of the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. The disagreement, which had drawn significant media attention, centered around management and strategic decisions within the network. Sources say the CM’s mediation played a crucial role in restoring harmony between the brothers.
Details of the Resolution
According to sources close to the family, the dispute stemmed from differences over Sun TV’s management policies and operational strategies. The conflict had escalated to legal action when Dayanidhi Maran, a former Union Minister, issued a notice to Kalanithi Maran, the Chairman and MD of Sun TV Network.
After multiple rounds of discussion facilitated by the Chief Minister, both sides agreed to settle the matter privately, emphasizing the importance of unity in the face of growing competition in the media industry.
Impact on Sun TV Network
Industry experts believe the resolution will benefit the company’s stability and public image. Sun TV Network, one of India’s largest regional broadcasters, operates 33 television channels, multiple FM radio stations, and digital platforms across India and abroad.
The settlement is expected to reassure investors and employees, ensuring business continuity without further public disputes.
