What did R Madhavan say?
In an interview with Screen, Madhavan was asked about the sequel and whether Aanand L Rai has approached him for the third part. He was also asked whether Kangana would play a triple role with him in the third installment.
To which, Madhavan said, “As much as I would like to talk about it, I really have no idea. It’s on Instagram now. Media and people are asking me these questions. Neither Anand nor anyone else has talked to me about part three.
The actor also raised the possibility of him being replaced in Tanu Weds Manu 3. He further added, “I have no clue and I don’t know what the script is. Maybe I’m not into it. Maybe he has taken my place. I couldn’t get the slightest idea about it”.
About the film franchise
R Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut were seen together in the 2011 film Tanu Weds Manu and its 2015 sequel Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Tanu Weds Manu Returns was the sequel to the hugely successful Tanu Weds Manu, a romantic comedy involving two of the most unexpected people. The lead actors, played by Kangana and R Madhavan, got full support from actors like Swara Bhaskar, Deepak Dobriyal and Jimmy Shergill. The film was particularly notable in bringing out the sights and sounds of Uttar Pradesh.
Earlier, Madhavan had said that he had completed the franchise, adding that it was ‘water under the bridge’. “I guess that’s water under the bridge. No point beating a dead horse… You know, it’s very difficult to come up with original material, and then there are also the expectations of a movie. Look, if it’s a sequel to The Avengers or a superhero series, it’s easy because you have a template. But this is impossible with Tanu Weds Manu. And I think my work is done. I don’t want to go back to being Manu anymore,” Madhavan told YouTuber JB Coe.
