Tanu Weds Manu, which will see the fresh pairing of Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan, was initially titled Manu Weds Tanu but the name was changed at the lead actress' behest.
Director Anand Rai felt Manu Weds Tanu was an appropriate title, but Kangana who plays Tanu in the film, insisted that the title should be Tanu Weds Manu and not Manu Weds Tanu because the narrative unfolds from Tanu's point of view, said a source.
The director was taken aback, but Kangana explained her point saying Tanu, a small town, wild girl, is the one in the commanding position compared to Madhavan's character Manu who is shown as a simple NRI guy in the comedy.
When the director spoke to Madhavan, thinking he would get upset, the actor saw the point immediately and readily agreed with Kangana.
"It's true that the film was earlier titled Manu Weds Tanu. However, we felt that Tanu Weds Manu was a more suitable title, according to the demands of the script. So we decided to go with 'Tanu Weds Manu'," said Rai.
The film will release Feb 25.
