Rani Mukerji is set to thrill audiences again in ‘Mardaani 3,’ capitalizing on the massive hits of the 2014 film and its 2019 sequel. With the trailer now out, it packs the signature punchy, ceaseless drama of the entire Mardaani lineup.
Trailer reveal on Instagram
The makers took to Instagram to share the trailer and wrote, “It is a race against time & there will be no mercy. Shivani Shivaji Roy is back to rescue girls who go missing without a trace. #Mardaani3Trailer is out now. #Mardaani3 releasing only in cinemas near you on 30th Jan.”
Plot tease and villain twist
The trailer hints at a storyline rooted in the beginning of the mafia world. Yet it teases deeper layers hiding below the surface. In ‘Mardaani 3,’ Shivani Shivaji Roy (played by Rani Mukerji) shifts from battling male antagonists in the first two films to confronting Amma (Mallika Prasad), a ruthless female villain. The intense showdown between Shivani and Amma stands out as the film’s key draw.

Abhiraj Minawala now leads the third installment, earlier directing ‘LoveYatri’ and assisting on projects like ‘Tiger 3,’ ‘War 2,’ and more.
