Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan’s iconic pairing in Tanu Weds Manu and its sequel Tanu Weds Manu Returns won the hearts of audiences across India. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the third installment of this beloved franchise, and now, exciting news has surfaced. Director Aanand L Rai, along with writer Himanshu Sharma, has reportedly completed the script for Tanu Weds Manu 3. This time, Kangana Ranaut is expected to take on a new challenge by playing a triple role!
The Storyline of Tanu Weds Manu 3
According to reports by Pinkvilla, Tanu Weds Manu 3 will pick up where the first two films left off, continuing the story with a fresh mix of romance, drama, and humor that made the previous films so successful. This time around, the filmmakers aim to clarify and explore the deeper meanings of the first and second parts, providing fans with an even richer viewing experience.
Kangana’s First-Ever Triple Role!
The biggest highlight of the third film is the potential for Kangana Ranaut to appear in not one, not two, but three distinct roles. This will mark a significant milestone in Kangana’s career, as it will be her first movie where she portrays a triple role. In Tanu Weds Manu Returns, she had already impressed audiences by playing a double role, balancing the characters of the bold Tanuja and the athletic Kusum. If the reports are true, Kangana’s triple role will surely be one of the major attractions of the film, adding a new layer of excitement for her fans.
As for her co-star, R Madhavan will reprise his beloved character, Manu, reuniting with Kangana after their much-loved on-screen chemistry in the previous films.
Shooting Schedule and Release Plans
The shooting for Tanu Weds Manu 3 is expected to begin in mid-2025. If everything goes according to plan, the film is slated for a 2026 release. This timeline gives fans plenty of time to build anticipation and excitement for the return of their favorite characters.
It is worth noting that in 2022, during an interview, R Madhavan had expressed hesitance about reprising his role as Manu. He stated that he had done everything he wanted with the character and wasn’t keen on returning to it. However, with the recent developments and the completion of the script, it seems that the actor has reconsidered his decision, much to the delight of fans who can’t imagine the series without him.
