Don't have story for 'Tanu Weds Manu 3' right now: Aanand L. Rai

Darpan News Desk IANS, 20 Apr, 2016 12:11 PM
    Filmmaker Aanand L. Rai, who has helmed the sequels of popular film "Tanu Weds Manu" and "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", says he doesn't have any story for the third part right now.
     
    "Right now, honestly, I don't have a story... After 'Tanu Weds Manu', I moved on to 'Raanjhanaa'. People thought I would make the second part exactly after part one but I had my journey through 'Raanjhanaa' and now again I am moving on with other stuff," Rai told IANS here.
     
    The filmmaker hopes that he might discover the third part of the film in "this journey". 
     
    "Let's see... In this journey I might discover part three. Right now there is no story with me," he added. 
     
    The "Tanu Weds Manu" franchise features R. Madhavan, Kangana Ranaut, Jimmy Shergill, Swara Bhaskar Deepak Dobriyal and Eijaz Khan.
     
    Asked if she would like to be a part of the third part if it ever happens, Swara quipped: "No. Aanand sir is here. I have told them that no more 'Tanu Weds Manu 3'. If it is happening then Payal (Swara's character in the films) is dead. She is not having any more children. No artificial insemination". 
     
    "We have already established that Jassi is impotent. Like let's not take the story any further. Its embarrassing. It is getting into awkward places... I think it should be the end of Jassi (Eijaz's character in the films) and Payal's story," she added. 
     
    As of now, Swara and Rai are currently busy promoting the forthcoming film "Nil Battey Sannata”, which is slated to release on Friday.
