Earlier today, Eros Universe announced a new film set in the world of Tanu Weds Manu. Mitakshara Kumar has been tapped to direct the film for Eros Universe. Mitakshara is known for her work alongside Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the latter's web series Heeramandi and served as the director of creator Nikkhil Advani's period series The Empire. The upcoming film is billed as a bold reinvention of the franchise, which began with 2011's Tanu Weds Manu. According to a press release, "While moving away from its Kanpur roots, the new chapter aims to carry forward the irreverence, unpredictability, and emotional charge of the earlier films, this time on an expansive international stage."

The film will have a set of actors different from the popular franchise but aims to retain its essence, especially its cultural authenticity, chaos, romance, and humour.

Speaking about the film, Eros Innovation's Co-Founder and Co-President Ridhima Lulla said, "Tanu and Manu belong to the audience forever. Their story didn’t just entertain, it created a cultural phenomenon in Indian cinema. Our responsibility now is to honour that legacy by doing what this universe has always done best: break rules, push boundaries, and redefine love with unapologetic honesty."

Ridhima added, "This is not a continuation with the same faces; this is the Tanu Weds Manu universe expanding into a bigger, bolder global canvas. With multiple legendary IPs in our catalogue, the expansion of the Tanu Weds Manu universe is only the beginning of what’s coming."

On the other hand, Mitakshara stated, "My vision is to create a film that feels familiar in spirit but thrillingly fresh in its storytelling - a story of love and identity that travels across borders, because the chaos of the heart is universal."

Production on the film, which hails from producers Eros Universe and Rudrak Soma Jyoti Limited, is set to commence in early 2026 in London.
