She
has
essayed
complex
roles
in
films
like
Gangster,
Fashion
and
Queen
with
perfection,
but
managing
dual
roles
in
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns
turned
out
to
be
a
challenge
for
National
Award
winning
actress
Kangana
Ranaut.
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns,
a
sequel
of
the
2011
film
Tanu
Weds
Manu,
will
revolve
around
Tanu
and
Manu's
life
after
four
years
of
their
marriage.
It
will
feature
Kangana
playing
double
roles
of
Kusum
"Datto" Sangwan
and
Tanuja
"Tanu"
Trivedi.
Talking
about
her
experience
of
playing
two
roles
in
the
sequel,
Kangana
said,
"They
are
very
different.
The
experience
was
very
challenging.
It's
usually
hard
to
portray
one
character,
but
here
I
was
asked
to
play
two
strong
characters."
"The
biggest
challenge
for
me
was
to
essay
these
two
girls
with
complete
conviction,
especially
when
they
have
scenes
together,"
added
the
actress,
who
turned
28
on
Monday.
Looking
lovely
in
a
Sabyasachi
Mukherjee
designed
outfit
for
the
event,
Kangana
revealed
more
about
her
two
characters.
"In
the
beginning
of
the
film,
Tanu
is
more
self-centered.
She
loves
herself
much
more
than
others.
While
Dattoo
is
not
like
her.
She
is
a
complete
woman.
She
is
somebody
who
we
would
want
to
be
like.
"But
Tanu
is
more
beautiful
and
attractive.
Dattoo
has
bunny
teeth,
she
has
got
a
weird
accent
and
there
is
nothing
glamorous
about
her.
She
is
an
athlete.
I
have
played
her
with
more
of
boyish
gestures,"
she
explained.
So,
how
will
Madhavan,
who
will
be
seen
as
Manu
in
the
film,
cope
up
with
Kangana's
dual
torture
this
time?
"It
takes
a
lot
of
effort
to
look
after
one
wife
in
real
life,
but
in
the
film,
I'm
dealing
with
two
girls.
I
had
a
great
time
filming
this
one
as
I
learnt
a
lot
from
it,"
he
said.
Shooting
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns
was
fun
for
Madhavan.
"I
was
shooting
Saala
Khadoos
before
starting
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns
and
the
challenging
part
for
me
was
that
I
finished
the
last
day
of
Saala
Khadoos,
shaved
off
and
moved
into
this
one.
"For
that,
I
was
very
beefed
up
and
very
muscular,
so
it
was
really
unfortunate
that
Manu
looks
like
a
'pehelwaan' after
four
years
in
this
film.
But
more
than
the
physicality,
getting
back
to
Manu
was
fun...
I
think
it
is
the
freakiest
character
in
my
career."
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns
is
slated
to
release
in
end
of
May.
