Prabhu told the media, "It is an important and happy event to be held in Shivaji's Family after his demise. We are printing Shivaji's portrait on the Invitation card. Behind this portrait, there is an interesting story. Usha Mangeshkar, a very close friend of my family and sister of the legend Latha Mangeshkar has painted this portrait. Lathaji framed this portrait in a bigger size and hung it in her drawing hall. We requested her to give that particular painting for this invitation. I have invited all the leaders and friends who were associated with Shivaji to this marriage."

Prabhu also hinted that there is a possibility of the presence of the Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi at this Marriage. Former Chief Minister Jayalalitha will attend the reception.
