Tanu Weds Manu 3: Bold Move or Big Mistake?

Tanu Weds Manu 3 is now moving ahead with a new team under Eros Universe. The makers confirmed that the film will be directed by Mitakshara Kumar. Fans are eager to see how this fresh direction shapes the beloved franchise.

Mitakshara worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in 2015 as an associate director on Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. She gained attention for her visual style and detailed storytelling.

She later made her directorial debut with The Empire on Disney+ Hotstar. She also directed a few episodes of Netflix’s Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. These projects helped her build a strong creative identity.

Now, Mitakshara will direct the third installment of the Tanu Weds Manu franchise. The team plans to begin filming in London in early 2026. The film is expected to take the story in a new international direction.

Reports suggest that the film will introduce a new cast except for R. Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut. The shift from the franchise’s usual chaos to a global backdrop has created curiosity. Many fans are waiting to see how this change will work.

Some viewers are excited about the revival, while others feel unsure about the bold move of choosing a new director. This is especially notable after Anand L. Rai made a strong comeback with Tere Ishk Mein.

Eros appears to have moved past Anand Rai, who shaped the original small-town charm and mass appeal of the series. This has led to debates about whether the franchise can retain its original magic.

The big question is whether Mitakshara can balance the heart of the series with her Bhansali-inspired grandeur. Fans are watching closely to see if this reinvention becomes a refreshing sequel or ends up as a project that many feel did not need to be made.
