In an intriguing development for Bollywood fans, actress Kangana Ranaut might make a striking comeback to the “Tanu Weds Manu” franchise, this time taking on an unprecedented triple role. The news comes as a surprising twist, especially following Ranaut’s earlier hints about potentially stepping away from Bollywood to focus on her political aspirations.
Kangana Ranaut to be seen in Triple role in Tanu Weds Manu 3?
The third instalment of director Aanand L Rai’s successful franchise is reportedly in development, with plans to begin filming in late 2025.
An industry insider revealed to Pinkvilla, “Kangana is excited to explore the first triple role of her career, and is awaiting a complete narration from Aanand L Rai. The film will allow her to dive into new shades of a performer.”
Will it be a Union with ‘Manu’ – R Madhavan in part 3?
This ambitious project would mark a significant evolution from Ranaut’s acclaimed double role in “Tanu Weds Manu Returns,” where she masterfully portrayed both the feisty Tanu and the Haryanvi athlete Datto.
The film would also reunite her with co-star R Madhavan, rekindling their popular on-screen chemistry.
Here’s what sources say:
Speaking about the project’s creative direction, the source elaborated, “It’s a sequel in a true sense and the makers have come across a story that organically leads itself to a trilogy. Staying true to the world of parts one and two, the third instalment, too, will be a blend of humour with romance and drama. The basic idea is locked by Aanand L Rai.”
Emergency still waits for Censor’s thumbs up
While director Rai is currently focused on his project “Tere Ishk Mein” with Dhanush, Ranaut herself is awaiting the censor board’s certification for her ambitious directorial venture “Emergency,” where she portrays former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The potential triple role in “Tanu Weds Manu 3” could mark a significant milestone in her already illustrious career, showcasing her versatility as an actress in an entirely new light.
