"Tanu Weds Manu (TWM; 2011) was my first hit," says filmmaker Aanand L Rai, as he tells mid-day that the franchise's third instalment is on its way. The film is close to Rai and so is the lead actor, Kangana Ranaut. "Kangana and I enjoyed working on TWM. We shared a great rapport. After I wrapped up Raanjhanaa [2013] and she finished Queen [2014], we came together for TWM Returns [2015]," he says.
