Watch: Rani Mukerji Performs Mardaani Khel While Promoting Mardaani 3 in Pune
In the recent Instagram post, a promotional campaign for Mardaani 3 has surfaced, in the critically acclaimed action-thriller series directed by Rani Mukerji and produced by Yash Raj Films. Rani makes a comeback in the movie as Shivani Shivaji Roy, the brave Mumbai police officer who has come to represent the brutal narrative of the franchise.
Rani Mukerji interacted with members of the Mardaani Khel initiative, a traditional martial art form established in Maharashtra that emphasizes physical strength, self-defense, and confidence, during a promotional visit to a college in Pune. This interaction went viral. The incident fits with the movie’s recurrent themes of resilience and empowerment, which have been essential to the franchise’s identity.
Mardaani 3 Details and Cast
Mardaani 3, which is produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Abhiraj Minawala under the Yash Raj Films banner, is the darkest and most intense episode of the series to date, according to the producers. In addition to Rani Mukerji, the movie includes:
Amma, played by Mallika Prasad, is the main adversary, bringing up an uncommon confrontation between women.
Janki Bodual and criscial issue.
Mikhail Yawalkar, Jisshu Sengupta, and others provided supporting roles.
Story and Themes
Promotional materials indicate that Mardaani 3 centers on the enigmatic disappearance of 93 young girls over a brief period of time, which prompts a race-against-time investigation, even though YRF has withheld specific story details. The story once again touches on socioeconomic concerns related to crime, exploitation, and systemic failure as Shivani Shivaji Roy battles a vicious criminal network.
The third movie seems to carry on the franchise’s history of addressing human trafficking (Mardaani, 2014) and sexual violence (Mardaani 2, 2019) with a more somber and intense tone.
Release Date
The date of Mardaani 3’s global theatrical release was recently rescheduled to January 30, 2026. The film’s release is even more significant because it marks Rani Mukerji’s 30th anniversary in the Hindi cinema business.
Mardaani 3 is positioned as one of YRF’s key releases of 2026 due to its serious subject matter, female-led clash, and Rani Mukerji’s return in a tough cop persona.
