Marking 10 years of her film, Tanu weds Manu, Kangana Ranaut has said, the film opened new avenues for her.

 She also said that after the movie, she became the first female actor, after late Sridevi, to have done comedy in Hindi films. Released in 2011, the film had a sequel in 2015 which featured Kangana in a double role.

She wrote, "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."
