Maddy with Shahana in Tanu Weds Manu?
R Madhavan Ok, so read this news piece making media rounds for last few days. It declares that Shahana Goswami has been paired opposite Madhavan in a film called Tanu Weds Manu which is produced by Mukesh Talreja and directed by Nikhil Advani.
Wrong, wrong and some more wrong is all one can say for this piece which has not just ended up mixing a couple of stories together but also suffers big time due to someone's figment of imagination, going an extra mile that has only ended up making it all a 'bhel-puri' of sorts.
So let's start taking back this statement and state some facts:
#

Weds
Manu?

the
lead.
Also,

Feet
Under
fame.
#
Is

An
official
announcement
is
yet
awaited.
To summarise, there are two projects starring Madhavan in the lead in fray. While one is called Tanu Weds Manu, is to be directed by Aanand Rai, and is still waiting for a heroine, another doesn't have a title, is pending confirmation w.r.t. its leading lady, is to be directed by Navdeep Singh and is produced by Nikhil Advani and Mukesh Talreja.
Hope this should keep the rumour mongers contained!
