Produced by Yash Raj Films, Mardaani is the biggest solo female-led franchise in Hindi cinema. Launched in 2014, it has earned acclaim for its taut storytelling and strong central character.
Mardaani 3 will see Rani reprise her role as fearless cop Shivani Shivaji Roy, who fights relentlessly for justice. Earlier, Rani described the thriller as “dark, deadly and brutal,” a remark that sparked wide curiosity among fans of the star and the franchise.
The first instalment, directed by Pradeep Sarkar, dealt with human trafficking, while Mardaani 2 (2019), directed by Gopi Puthran, centred on a psychopath rapist and murderer. The films are known for portraying chilling villains who are ultimately defeated by Shivani, symbolising the triumph of good over evil.
