Released in 2011, Tanu Weds Manu starred R Madhavan, Kangana Ranaut, Deepak Dobriyal, Jimmy Sheirgill in the lead roles and turned out to be a success at the box office. This was also filmmaker Aanand L Rai first hit as a director, R Madhavan’s first hit post the all-time blockbuster 3 Idiots & resurrected Kangana’s career, in a way. 

Four years later, its sequel was released and turned out to be a blockbuster as well at the box office. Besides Madhavan, Kangana, Deepak & Jimmy, the film also featured Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in a prominent role.

It’s been 7 years since the film was released and there have been several reports about its sequel. 

Now, we hear that there is an idea in place for Tanu Weds Manu 3, however, it may not appeal to the fans of Madhavan and even the franchise. 

According to Bollywood Life, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub revealed that writer Himanshu Sharma has an idea for the third part where he is planning to pair Kangana’s character with Zeeshan Ayyub’s as the film will revolve around them. 

He further added that Himanshu has been floating this idea around in jest for years now and there is nothing concrete about it yet.

When prodded further about the film, Zeeshan Ayyub said that he will ask the writer to actually write the script keeping his and Kangana’s characters as the central leads. 

While Kangana played the character of Tanu in the film, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub played Advocate Arun aka Chintu Kumar Singh. The two characters share a special bond in the film that turns toxic towards the end. 

While Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub said this all in jest, it will be interesting to see if the makers actually go ahead with this idea.
