Aanand’s next a rom-com

Aanand L Rai, of Raanjhanaa fame,recently announced that his next will also be a love story. “It will be ready in the first week of November and then I will finalise the cast and locations. It is a rom-com with an old world charm to it,and a hint of desi tadka. Based in India,it will showcase a few metropolitan cities in a different light,” said Rai. “It’s not your usual happy-go-lucky story. This film will be very different from Raanjhanaa,” he said. When asked about approaching Dhanush for the project,he said,“No,I am looking at casting someone else. But once I am done with scripting this film as well as the sequel to Tanu Weds Manu,I will definitely write something for Dhanush.”
