August 30, 2025: After a series of diverse roles that failed to make a lasting impact at the box office, actress Kangana Ranaut seems ready to return to the spotlight with sequels to her biggest hits. The controversial star, known for her fearless choices, has long been absent from the theatrical success she once enjoyed, but now she is banking on fan-favorite franchises to reignite her career.
As reported by Pinkvilla, Kangana is all set to reunite with two of her most successful directors—Vikas Bahl and Anand L. Rai. The actress will soon begin work on ‘Queen 2’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu 3’, two sequels to films that were pivotal in shaping her career.
Kangana Ranaut’s Queen 2: The Comeback in the Making
The ‘Queen’ franchise, which won hearts with Kangana’s portrayal of a young woman on a transformative journey through Europe, will see its sequel go into production as early as November 2025. According to sources, the script has already been locked, and director Vikas Bahl is currently scouting locations in the UK for the next chapter. Like the first installment, the sequel will see Kangana’s character travel both within India and abroad, as she continues her emotional and adventurous journey.
The team is reportedly confident that the follow-up will strike a chord with audiences in the same way the first part did, bringing a fresh yet familiar story to the big screen.
Tanu Weds Manu 3: A New Chapter for the Iconic Couple
After wrapping up ‘Queen 2’, Kangana will quickly dive into ‘Tanu Weds Manu 3’. This time, she will reunite with director Anand L. Rai for the third installment of the wildly successful romantic comedy. Sources confirm that the script for the threequel is complete, and the film is expected to be Rai’s immediate project after his ongoing venture ‘Tere Ishk Mein’.
Fans of the ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ franchise, which saw Kangana in the iconic dual roles of Tanu and Manu’s quirky wife, will eagerly await her return to the beloved characters. The first two films in the series were major commercial hits, and the third installment hopes to continue that legacy.
Can Sequels Revitalize Kangana’s Career?
While Kangana’s recent attempts at diverse roles haven’t achieved the same commercial success, the decision to return to sequels might just be the right move. Both ‘Queen’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ have a massive fan following, and there is widespread anticipation for these sequels.
It remains to be seen if these projects can bring Kangana back to her peak form, but the combination of popular franchises and her undeniable star power holds great potential for success.
As Kangana gears up for these projects, her fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see if these sequels can deliver the magic that made her a box-office sensation in the past.
