The highly anticipated trailer for 'Mardaani 3', starring Rani Mukerji as the fierce cop Shivani Shivaji Roy, has been officially released on January 12, 2026, generating significant buzz among audiences. Produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Abhiraj Minawala, the third installment of the successful franchise delves into another dark and brutal social reality. In 'Mardaani 3', Rani Mukerji's character, Shivani Shivaji Roy, is pitted against a formidable new antagonist: a ruthless mafia queen known as 'Amma'. Played by National Award-winning actor and director Mallika Prasad, Amma leads a sinister child trafficking syndicate, abducting young girls across India. The trailer showcases Shivani's relentless and intense pursuit of justice, marking a shift from previous installments where she battled male villains. The film, which was initially slated for a February 27, 2026 release, has been preponed and will now hit cinemas worldwide on January 30, 2026. This release date is particularly significant as it coincides with Rani Mukerji's remarkable milestone of completing 30 years in the Indian film industry. Mukerji herself has expressed that marking her 30th year with 'Mardaani 3' feels incredibly special, highlighting the franchise's dedication to saluting strong women and the resilience of the Indian police force. The movie promises a gritty and hard-hitting narrative, continuing the franchise's legacy of tackling pressing social issues with fearless storytelling.
