Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan starrer ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, which emerged as the sleeper hit of 2011, completed ten successful years of release on Thursday (February 25). Kangana, who has been grabbing all the eyeballs with her statements, took to social media to pen a heartfelt post. The ‘Panga’ actress said that ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ changed the ‘trajectory’ of her career. Ranaut added that she strengthened her skills as an actress after working in ‘TWR’ and became the only actress after late Sridevi to perform comedy on the silver screen.

“I was stuck in edgy/neurotic roles, this film changed the trajectory of my career, was my entry in to mainstream that too with comedy, with Queen and Datto I strengthened my comic timing and became the only actress after legendary SriDevi ji to do comedy,” Kangana tweeted.

Kangana’s second tweet caught the attention of the fans as she addressed the film’s director Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma as ‘struggling makers’. The ‘Queen’ star said that she thought she would make their careers but they were the ones who ‘made her career’. She thanked Rai and Sharma for the franchise in her Twitter post.

 “Thanks to @aanandlrai and our writer Himanshu Sharma for this franchise, when they came to me as struggling makers I thought I can make their careers but instead they made my career, one can never tell which film will work and which won’t, all destiny, glad my destiny has you,” she wrote on the micro-blogging site.

Rai responded to Kangana's tweet and thanked her for 'believing in them'. He wrote, "Thank you @KanganaTeam for believing in us."

Aanand L Rai shared a heartwarming post on social media to mark ten years of ‘Tanu Weds Manu’. He wrote, “Someone said so beautifully...”Nothing of me is original, I am the combined effort of everyone I have ever known” Thank you for giving me my identity Thank you for making me “Woh Tanu weds Manu wala Aanand Rai.”

R Madhavan dropped a comment on the Instagram. He wrote, “Thank you Aanand .. for giving us all our own little piece of history.. and fondest memories... God bless you bhai.”

Talking about Kangana, she will be next seen as former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in ‘Thalaivi’. The film is slated to hit the silver screens on April 23. It will lock horns with Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji starrer ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ at the box office.
