‘Mardaani 3’ Trailer Released: Rani Mukerji Returns as Fearless Cop Shivani Shivaji Roy
‘Mardaani 3’ Trailer Out: Rani Mukerji Returns as Shivani Shivaji Roy in Her Most Brutal Battle Yet: The much-anticipated trailer of Rani Mukerji’s “Mardaani 3” has been released, promising a hard-hitting and emotionally intense chapter in the popular crime-thriller franchise. Reprising her iconic role as fearless police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy, Rani Mukerji once again takes on a dark and disturbing social evil—this time, the mysterious disappearance of young girls across the country.
The 3-minute-16-second trailer opens with the chilling kidnapping of a young girl from Bulandshahr, a case that soon sparks nationwide concern. As the incidents multiply, Shivani is assigned the daunting responsibility of uncovering the truth behind these horrific crimes. The trailer sets a grim tone, highlighting the brutality and urgency of the investigation.
What makes Mardaani 3 stand out is the introduction of a formidable female antagonist. Mallika Prasad, playing the ruthless villain Amma, emerges as Shivani’s most dangerous adversary yet. Amma is portrayed as a cold, calculating woman who lures young girls, manipulates them, and subjects them to unimaginable cruelty. The trailer reveals disturbing glimpses of her crimes, including exploitation, forced pregnancies, and cold-blooded murders to erase evidence.

The film also features Janaki Bodiwala, known for Shaitan, in a pivotal role. Mardaani 3 is written by Aayush Gupta, acclaimed for global hits like The Railway Man, and directed by Abhiraj Minawala. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner.
Continuing its tradition of socially relevant storytelling, the Mardaani franchise has consistently exposed grim realities—human trafficking in Mardaani and the psyche of a serial rapist in Mardaani 2. With Mardaani 3, the franchise dives deeper into another brutal and unsettling truth of society, reinforcing its legacy of bold and impactful cinema. “Mardaani 3” is set to release in theaters worldwide on January 30, 2026.
