Says a source, "Rai was contemplating the sequel a while back, but then the Dhanush film came along. The announcement of the sequel came at the same time as well. So at the moment he will be working on Ranjhna."

Adds the source, "The sequel was just an idea and Rai was toying with many other projects at the time. So he did not want to repeat himself, by directing a sequel immediately.

At the moment, he gets the time to space things out."u00a0 However, Rai says that the script is very close to his heart and he is still very much on board for the film.

He clarifies, "I love Tanu weds Manu and the new script is brilliant. It takes the story to another level. The announcement of the sequel came along a little sooner than it should have.

We were not really prepared and now I have decided to go with the Dhanush starrer first. Once I am done with this, I shall start work on the sequel. It may be sometime early next year. The dates are yet to be decided."
