Kangana Ranaut‘s 2011 sleeper hit Tanu Weds Manu turned her into a bankable star and as the film completed 10 years today, Kangana compared herself to late superstar Sridevi.
Kangana said that after Sridevi, she became the ‘only actress to do comedy’ with the Aanand L Rai-directed movie. She also said that she was stuck in ‘edgy, neurotic’ roles but Tanu Weds Manu changed her life. The actress tweeted, “I was stuck in edgy/neurotic roles, this film changed the trajectory of my career, was my entry in to mainstream that too with comedy, with Queen and Datto I strengthened my comic timing and became the only actress after legendary SriDevi ji to do comedy #10yearsoftanuwedsmanu.”
“Thanks to @aanandlrai and our writer Himanshu Sharma for this franchise, when they came to me as struggling makers I thought I can make their careers but instead they made my career, one can never tell which film will work and which won’t,all destiny, glad my destiny has you,” she further added.
R. Madhavan, who had played the male protagonist also tweeted, “@aanandlrai @KanganaTeam @vikramix @Viacom18Studios Thank YOU ALL SOO SOO MUCH for this awesome piece of history .. Will cherish this for the rest of my life . #10yearsoftanuwedsmanu.”
Kangana had played Tanuja Trivedi in Tanu Weds Manu and she had a double role in the film’s sequel Tanu Weds Manu Returns, which had released in 2015.
