Kangana Ranaut to star alongside Vijay Sethupathi in thriller film?

Kangana Ranaut announced in a recent interview that she is scheduled to star in three new projects, including Tanu Weds Manu 3 and a thriller with Vijay Sethupathi.

In a conversation with IMDb, when the actor was asked about her upcoming films she answered, “I am starting a thriller with Vijay Sethupathi sir. And a film called Noti Binodini. And another film called Tanu Weds Manu 3."

This comes in contrast with director Aanand L Rai’s previous statements on the possibility of a third part of the film. In a 2015 interview, Aanand said, “I won’t make a third part just because it is a brand, or because it will work. Let’s not treat it like a series. Right now, there is no part three. I think I am done with the characters, at least for now.”

Even lead actor R Madhavan said part 3 was not happening. “I think that’s water under the bridge. There is no point in beating a dead horse… You know, it’s so difficult to come up with original stuff, and then there are expectations of a film. See, if it’s a sequel to Avengers or a superhero series, it’s easier because you have a template. But with Tanu Weds Manu, it’s impossible. And I think I am done with it. I don’t want to go back to being Manu now,” Madhavan told YouTuber Jaby Koey last year.

Kangana won the National Award for Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Her latest Tejas, was released in theatres on Friday.
