Is 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil...' sequel happening? R Madhavan reveals
What's the story
Actor R. Madhavan recently addressed the increasing demand for a sequel to Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein. Speaking to Mid-Day, he said, "I haven't found anything concrete to either do Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein 2 or Tanu Weds Manu 3. It's all speculation." "The only sequel I've done is Tanu Weds Manu Returns because the script was justifiable. I haven't had the luxury of doing a franchise film where I'm able to repeat the same characters because they worked."
