Rai corrected the record, saying he was "done with the characters" and that a third installment wasn't planned. However, it appears that Tanu and Manu's tale is still continue. He stated that he "definitely" has intentions to move the franchise forward in a conversation with the well-known news source.

“Tanu Weds Manu is a kind of franchise that demands a part three. The reason is, those characters are so beautiful, and they were played so beautifully by Madhavan and Kangana. Those characters became a little bigger than the story itself,” he shared.

Rai further disclosed that there was no initial plan to make a franchise out of Tanu Weds Manu; the sequel was only decided after its success. “Tanu Weds Manu was wrapped very well. The story was complete. But the characters were eager to come back. That’s why we were able to create another story,” explained the director.

Ranaut confirmed her involvement in Tanu Weds Manu 3 last year. Rai made it clear that the plot is still open. “With Tanu Weds Manu Returns, we introduced a new character, Datto. These characters are all asking for a third part. The minute we have a great story—the story that Tanu, Manu, and Datto deserve—we’ll go for it,” he shared.

“What I really search for is a unique man-woman relationship. The dynamics in Tanu Weds Manu were different from Raanjhanaa, just as Raanjhanaa was different from Atrangi Re, and Atrangi Re is very different from Haseen Dillruba. As a director and producer, I feel the need to explore a new love story each time. I search for a certain kind of edginess. In Tanu Weds Manu, I showed a girl who drinks and smokes, and as a director, I didn’t judge her—and that’s why my audience didn’t judge her,” he pointed out.

He added, “The idea is to bring a new story and a new relationship to celluloid, something that hasn’t been captured yet. That search is always on. When people say ‘Aanand L Rai film,’ I really don’t know what that means. The only thing I know is to be real and honest with my films. That honesty and pulse are the texture of my films. I’m not trying to impress myself; I want to be happy with my stories. That happiness is how I would describe the texture of my cinema.”
