Despite the way people appreciated the chemistry between the two. When asked the actor, Madhavan, who is in the middle of promoting Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, revealed that he wouldn’t want to return as Manu.
In a report by Hindustan Times, Madhavan was quoted in an interview with the popular YouTuber Jaby Koay, wherein he spoke about the third part of Tanu Weds Manu. “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,” he was quoted saying.
Tanu Weds Manu that was released in 2011, presents the story of the two titular characters, how they met and how complicated their love story gets, eventually leading to marriage. Tanu Weds Manu Returns in 2015 spoke about their post marriage life which deals with their internal conflicts and the entry of yet another character named Datto who adds a twist to the plot. While the 2011 release had garnered a positive response from the audience, the 2015 movie was a huge success in theaters.
Speaking about Madhavan’s upcoming movie Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, it marks the directorial debut of R Madhavan and is based on the life of the ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan. It is set to release on July 1.
