The much-anticipated third instalment in the popular franchise 'Tanu Weds Manu - The Next Chapter' will go on floors in 2026. The exciting announcement was made as Eros Innovation recently announced a major content slate.
'Tanu Weds Manu - The Next Chapter' will be directed by Mitakshara Kumar, known for his work in 'Heeramandi' and 'The Empire'. The project will be co-produced with Rudrak Soma Jyoti Limited.
It must be noted that Eros Innovation's content slate has been built around three initiatives: Eros Brahmand, a new mythology-inspired cinematic universe; Eros Universe, which expands popular film titles; and Eros Remastered, which restores classic films.
Eros Brahmand: A Mythology-Inspired Cinematic Universe
The Eros Brahmand, a mythology-based cinematic universe, will comprise nine original titles: 'Nandi - War of Kailasa', 'Dwaarka: Gateway to the Universe', 'Vimaan Wars', 'Mahabharat 5000 A.D.', 'Yakshinis', 'Brahmarakshak', 'Garuda', 'Kumbhayanna', and 'Mansa Devi'. Coming together, all these projects will form an interconnected storytelling universe inspired by Indian mythology and folklore.
Eros Universe: Expanding Beloved Film Titles
Next is the Eros Universe, which will have six popular film titles: 'Tanu Weds Manu - The Next Chapter', 'Phobia', 'English Vinglish', 'Desi Boyz', 'Rangeela', and 'Tere Naam'. According to Eros, these titles will be expanded across films, animation, microdramas, and character-led content, creating new storytelling opportunities.
Eros Remastered: Restoring Classic Cinema
The third initiative, Eros Remastered, will begin with 'Kochadaiyan'. Touted as India's first motion-capture feature film, the Rajinikanth starrer will be restored and reimagined under the creative leadership of Soundarya Rajinikanth.
