He is famous in Chennai.
The expression "world famous" only applies if he is known worldwide.

I have a slight problem in understanding what your friend being married has to do with the question - perhaps marriage destroys the memory of all grammar lessons at school.
If you were to write the sentence as :- "He is 'world famous' in Chennai" it would be a sarcastic comment meaning that he was in fact famous nowhere in particular - a big fish in a little pool.
The sentence has no proper meaning in the way it is written as long as the word "world" is included. The best you can do with it is to say "He is very famous in Chennai"

Either the grammar's wrong or the meaning is.
He's in Chennai, and is world-famous.
or He's famous throughout Chennai.

What does this have to do with him being married? The correct statement would be, "He is famous in Chennai".

he is famous in chennai for being married or what?
chennai is not the world, so world-famous does not apply here
