Kangana Ranaut has her way with ‘Tanu Weds Manu’

Kangana Ranaut

Mumbai, “Tanu Weds Manu”, which will see the fresh pairing of Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan, was initially titled “Manu Weds Tanu” but the name was changed at the lead actress’ behest.

Director Anand Rai felt “Manu Weds Tanu” was an appropriate title, but Kangana who plays Tanu in the film, insisted that the title should be “Tanu Weds Manu” and not “Manu Weds Tanu” because the narrative unfolds from Tanu’s point of view, said a source.

The director was taken aback, but Kangana explained her point saying Tanu, a small town, wild girl, is the one in the commanding position compared to Madhavan’s character Manu who is shown as a simple NRI guy in the comedy.

When the director spoke to Madhavan, thinking he would get upset, the actor saw the point immediately and readily agreed with Kangana.

“It’s true that the film was earlier titled ‘Manu Weds Tanu’. However, we felt that ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ was a more suitable title, according to the demands of the script. So we decided to go with ‘Tanu Weds Manu’,” said Rai.

Imran Khan drives Katrina Kaif around India Gate

Imran Khan & Katrina Kaif

It was quite a sight to see Imran Khan at the wheel of an open jeep, driving Katrina Kaif around India Gate.

But they were not on a private excursion, rather shooting the Yashraj film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan in the capital. Despite the chill, Katrina was clad in a short black dress. She stood up on her seat as Imran stepped up on the gas pedal.

The duo has been hasting to complete the film’s shoot before Imran’s wedding in January. However, unexpected rain and thick fog has only delayed the shoot.

That’s certainly not pleasing Katrina who had canceled her London trip to ring in 2011 with her family just to wrap up the shoot in time. But the weather gods had a different plan.
