Tanu-manu’s love story continues
With Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan reprising their roles, producer Krishika Lulla feels Tanu Weds Manu 2 will redefine the trend of sequels in Bollywood.
Krishika (inset) said contrary to the perception about Bollywood reboots, the latest version of Anand L Rai’s hit 2011 film of the same name will present an original sequel.
“Tanu Weds Manu 2 is an extension of its previous part. It’s actually a real sequel where Kangana and Madhavan are again playing the lead roles. It continues where it ended unlike the sequels we have in Bollywood where either the storyline is changed or the leads are replaced with other actors,” Krishika said.
The new movie is currently in the shooting stage and is left with its Haryana schedule in April after finishing elaborate filming in Lucknow. Tanu Weds Manu 2 is slated to hit theatres on May 22.
“Script is the hero in the second season. Our aim is to make the part two better than the first one though I loved the first movie. Now we are just left with its final leg of schedule in Haryana in April and some final work in Mumbai,” said Krishika, who has produced Bollywood hits like Raanjhnaa and Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela.
The reason behind coming up with the sequel of Tanu Weds Manu after a gap of four years, Krishika said, “We had the synopsis of the script with us for quite sometime. But Anand and I got busy with Raanjhnaa. The moment we finished it, we were back for Tanu Weds Manu 2.” The honcho of Eros International said after collaborating in three films, the director has become a ‘family’. “Anand is like a family. We are doing a lot of stuff together. We have a connection. Our sensibilities and thought process are similar and probably that’s the reason that we have come up with a brilliant script for Tanu Weds Manu 2,” she said.
