Kangana Ranaut’s latest film, “Tejas,” hit theaters this past Friday. In a recent interview with IMDb, the versatile actor disclosed her involvement in three upcoming projects, including a collaboration with Vijay Sethupathi, and a surprise return to the “Tanu Weds Manu” series.
During her conversation with IMDb, Kangana Ranaut shared her exciting future projects, stating, “I am embarking on a thriller with Vijay Sethupathi, sir. Additionally, I have a film titled ‘Noti Binodini’ in the pipeline, and I’m also making a comeback in ‘Tanu Weds Manu 3.'”
The revelation of a third installment in the “Tanu Weds Manu” series took many by surprise, as earlier statements from director Aanand L. Rai seemed to rule out the possibility of a sequel. In a 2015 interview, he had stated, “I won’t create a third part just for the sake of the brand or its potential success. Let’s not treat it like a typical series. As of now, there is no part three. I believe I’m done with these characters, at least for the time being.”

Even lead actor R. Madhavan had expressed skepticism about a third installment, saying, “I think that’s in the past. There’s no sense in flogging a dead horse… It’s extremely challenging to create original content, especially when there are high expectations for a film. While sequels are easier for franchises like Avengers or superhero series because they have a predefined template, ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ is a different story. I believe I’ve moved on from it. I don’t want to reprise the role of Manu again,” as he shared with YouTuber Jaby Koey last year. It’s worth noting that Kangana won the National Award for Best Actress for her performance in “Tanu Weds Manu Returns.”

In the midst of these announcements, “Tejas” sheds light on the remarkable journey of Tejas Gill, an Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot, aiming to inspire and instill a profound sense of pride in every Indian. The film vividly portrays the dedication and challenges faced by IAF pilots as they tirelessly defend the nation. Kangana’s next project, “Emergency,” is now slated for release in the coming year.
