Kangna, Madhavan in Tanu Weds Manu
Tanu Weds Manu has finally found its female lead. Kangna Ranaut has been roped in to play Manu in Aanand L Rai’s forthcoming film being produced under his banner Colour Yellow Pictures. It is a love story with lots of celebration. While R.Madhavan was signed some time back, the hunt for the female lead just ended. The movie will go on floors in the third week of September and the start-to-finish marathon shoot will be shot extensively in north India. The shooting will also take place mostly at real locations.
“Kangna loved the storyline and character when she heard about it. I believe this will be something new and fresh for her and the audiences as we have never seen her play a romantic comedy. The couple will introduce a completely new flavour in the industry as well,” said the director.

THERE are good possibilities ahead of setting up a Film City in Jaipur soon, as noted filmmaker Subhash Ghai during his recent meeting with Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, strongly recommended it.

Ghai added, “With co-operation from the Government of Maharashtra, I am running Whistling Woods International Film Institute since 2006.With co-operation from the Rajasthan Government, I am keen to set up a branch in Jaipur too.”
