YRF announced that Rani Mukerji’s highly anticipated Mardaani 3 will release in theatres in 2026.
The announcement was made on the release anniversary of Mardaani 2, with a poster shared on social media. The film will go on floors in April 2025.
Alongside the poster, the makers wrote, “The wait is over! #RaniMukerji is back as the fierce Shivani Shivaji Roy in #Mardaani3. In cinemas 2026 (sic).” The cop thriller, which stars Rani as the protagonist, has previously seen two successful installments.
Talking about the film, Rani, who will play Shivani Shivaji Roy, said, “I’m thrilled to announce that we are starting shooting Mardaani 3 in April 2025! It is always special to wear the police uniform and play a character that has only given me love. I’m proud to essay the character of this feisty cop again in Mardaani 3 as a tribute to all the unsung, brave, self-sacrificing cops who work tirelessly every single day to keep us safe.”
She continued, “When we set out to make Mardaani 3, we were hoping that we could find a script that would take the experience of watching a Mardaani franchise film higher. I am really excited about what we have at hand, and I’m only hoping that the audience too feels the same after watching Mardaani 3 in theatres.”
The actor added, “Mardaani is an extremely loved franchise, and we have a certain responsibility to deliver to the expectations that people have. We will do our best to live up to this. Mardaani 3 is dark, deadly and brutal. So, I’m intrigued to find out the response of the people towards our film. I hope they shower this film with the same amount of love that they have always given.”
‘Mardaani’ Part 1 released in 2014. The film expanded with a sequel in 2019. Both of these films were massive hits at the box office.
