Director Aanand L. Rai of 'Tanu Weds Manu' and 'Raanjhanaa' fame, who is gearing up for the sequel of the blockbuster 'Tanu Weds Manu', recently flew to the United Kingdom for a recce trip.

If sources are to be believed, the film is set mostly in London and the surrounding areas.

Says a source, "Aanand Rai is known to be deeply involved with his films and all aspects of it. The director is taking his time to research and study all aspects of the film and the locations it's been scheduled to shoot at." 

'Tanu Weds Manu' and 'Raanjhanaa' were both shot and based in northern India but this time director Rai has decided to take the story abroad; does sound intriguing.

Like the original, 'Tanu Weds Manu 2' also stars Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan as the lead pair.
