Aanand L Rai: If we get a good enough story, we'll make Tanu Weds Manu 3

Kangna Ranaut, who entered Bollywood with Anurag Basu's film Gangster, rose to fame after playing the quirky character of Tanuja Trivedi in Aanand L Rai's Tanu Weds Manu. The film became such a huge hit at the ticket window that the makers decided to develop it into a franchise and soon Tanu Weds Manu Returns hit the theatre.

Reports about the third instalment of the hit film series keep surfacing every now and then. However, director Aanand L Rai has always said that he does not have any script for Tanu Weds Manu 3 and casting will begin only if he has a script in hand.


Recently, when the director was asked about the next part of the franchise, he explained, "We don’t have a story yet for the next film in the Tanu Weds Manu franchise. If we get a good enough story we will make it. Casting will happen only once the script is done. And it will be done as per requirements of the script."

Meanwhile, Rai is currently busy with his forthcoming film Zero, featuring superstar Shah Rukh Khan as a dwarf man. Also starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, the movie is scheduled to release on 21st December.
