Tanu-Manu sequel also set in UP

The hugely successful " Tanu Weds Manu", starring Kangna Ranaut and R Madhavan is all set to return to UP - Kanpur in the story, Lucknow, on location - for its sequel. 

According to the film director, Aanand L Rai, there were initially no plans of a sequel to the movie. "But while working on another project, I hit upon an interesting story idea - one that required the same characters and the same space if it had to be told. And so, it made sense to come up with a sequel," he says. About shooting in the same locations in UP as he had the last time, he adds, "The story, the people, the atmosphere is bringing us back." 

The writer of "TWM", Lucknowite Himanshu Sharma is also working on the sequel. "Aanand and I had been contemplating a sequel to "TWM" and only three days back we decided to go ahead with it," he says, adding, "So now we are working out the final script."

Telling us a bit more about "TWM 2", Himanshu says, "This time the story will be more crazy than the previous one. We're going all out for a mad rom-com. The audience will love it."

The makers are keen on roping in Kangna and Madhavan for the sequel as well. While things are still in the nascent stage, Rai says that that's the plan. "Since we have just hit upon the idea we are trying to work things out," adds Himanshu.
