On the tenth anniversary of the film, director Rai hinted at the possibility of having a third film in the franchise. He told the Quint, "Definitely the day we have a story. It all depends on the story. Like, Tanu Weds Manu Returns happened when we went for Raanjhanaa's first session of writing. That time Tanu Weds Manu Returns striked us, it never striked us before that."

Recently, reports have surfaced indicating that the third film might revolve around the character Tanu and Advocate Arun alias Chintu Kumar Singh, played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in the second film.
