Known for her grit, intensity, and unwavering determination, Shivani (Rani Mukerji) has become one of Indian cinema’s most iconic female characters.

The Mardaani series films have struck a chord with the audiences for its hard-hitting narratives that serve as an eye opener for the society. It also forces everyone to acknowledge the heinous crimes that are committed every day in our country.

After two massive hits in Mardaani (2014) and Mardaani 2 (2019), this third chapter promises to be even darker and grittier, to give audiences a more edge of the seat theatrical experience.

The past two films not only entertained but also sparked important conversations, making Shivani Shivaji Roy a character that audiences deeply connect with.

With Mardaani 3, the stakes are higher than ever. Promising to be much darker, grittier, and more intense, the third instalment is directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by her husband Aditya Chopra.

The film is set for a theatrical release on February 27, 2026, and expectations are already sky-high.
