Tanu Weds Manu 3 Hits a Snag as Eros International Halts Aanand L. Rai’s Progress with Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan
The future of the beloved “Tanu Weds Manu” film series is currently uncertain due to a legal dispute. Eros International Media Limited has claimed full ownership of the franchise’s rights, sending a notice to filmmaker Aanand L. Rai. This development comes after reports indicated that Rai was working on a third installment, raising concerns about the continuation of the series featuring stars Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan.
Ownership Dispute Over Franchise Rights
Eros International has firmly stated that it holds exclusive rights to all aspects of the “Tanu Weds Manu” films, including negative rights, intellectual property rights, copyrights, adaptation rights, and exploitation rights. This claim covers both the original film released in 2011 and its sequel, “Tanu Weds Manu Returns,” which debuted in 2015. The company insists that these rights are perpetual and applicable worldwide, including in India.
In its legal notice, Eros expressed concern over reports of auditions being conducted by other parties for a potential continuation of the franchise. The company views these actions as a violation of its rights and has warned that any unauthorized dealings with other entities would be met with legal action. Eros is already in the process of developing a new installment of the franchise, further complicating the situation.
Impact on Fans and Future Projects
The ongoing legal battle has left fans disheartened, as the prospect of seeing Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan reunite on screen now seems uncertain. Their chemistry was a significant draw for audiences in the previous films. The original “Tanu Weds Manu” told the story of Tanu, a spirited woman, and Manu, a simple NRI doctor, while the sequel introduced a twist with Ranaut playing a double role. The ensemble cast, including Jimmy Shergill, Deepak Dobriyal, and Swara Bhasker, contributed to the films’ popularity.
With Eros claiming to be actively working on a new project under the “Tanu Weds Manu” banner, questions arise about whether Aanand L. Rai will continue to be involved in the franchise. The outcome of this legal dispute could significantly affect the direction of the series and its future installments.
Uncertain Future for Tanu Weds Manu 3
As the legal tussle unfolds, the fate of “Tanu Weds Manu 3” remains in limbo. Fans are left anxiously awaiting updates on whether this highly anticipated reunion will be delayed or potentially derailed altogether. The franchise has garnered a loyal following, and the uncertainty surrounding its continuation has sparked widespread discussion among audiences eager for more from this beloved series.
