Tanu Weds Manu 3 in the works, Kangana Ranaut to explore triple role

The upcoming film Tanu Weds Manu 3 is in development, with Kangana Ranaut set to take on a triple role.

Directed by Aanand L Rai, the upcoming film will once again feature Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan, who previously captivated audiences in the first two films.

Since its debut in 2011, Tanu Weds Manu quickly became a hit, leading to a successful sequel in 2015.

The second film not only performed well at the box office but also became the highest-grossing Hindi feature film led by a female protagonist.

According to Pinkvilla, Aanand L Rai and his writing partner, Himanshu Sharma, have finally locked the plot for Tanu Weds Manu 3.

A source close to the development revealed, “Tanu Weds Manu 3 beautifully continues from the point where the first and second parts ended. It’s a sequel in the true sense, and the makers have come across a story that organically leads itself to a trilogy.”

True to its predecessors, the third instalment will maintain the franchise's signature blend of humour, romance, and drama. The source added, “Staying true to the world of parts one and two, the third instalment will also blend humour with romance and drama.

The basic idea is locked by Aanand L Rai, and the intent is to take the film on floors in the second half of 2025.

In a significant twist, Kangana Ranaut will take on a triple role for the first time in her career, while R Madhavan will reprise his singular role. “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 give her the opportunity to dive into new shades as a performer,” the source stated.

For context, Kangana had previously showcased her versatility with a double role in Tanu Weds Manu Returns.
