Mumbai: Yash Raj Films has revealed that the release of their anticipated film Mardaani 3 has been moved up to January 30, 2026.

The film promises to showcase a fierce battle between the virtuous Shivani and the malevolent forces as she embarks on a critical mission to find numerous missing girls across the nation.

For those unfamiliar, Mardaani is recognized as the largest solo female-led franchise in Hindi cinema, having received admiration and accolades for over a decade.

This franchise, noted as India's sole female cop series, will see Rani Mukerji return as the fearless officer, Shivani Shivaji Roy, who relentlessly pursues justice.

The original Mardaani, which debuted in 2014, marked Rani's return to the screen following her marriage.

Rani Mukerji previously mentioned that this gripping thriller will be 'dark, deadly, and brutal,' generating significant excitement among fans and followers of the franchise.

Mardaani 3 is helmed by director Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra. The first film addressed the harsh realities of human trafficking, while Mardaani 2 delved into the psyche of a deranged serial rapist who challenged the system. The upcoming installment will continue to explore the harsh truths of society, maintaining the franchise's tradition of compelling, issue-driven narratives.

The cast includes Rani Mukerji as Shivani Shivaji Roy, Tahir Raj Bhasin as the villain Walt, Jisshu Sengupta as Dr. Bikram Roy, Anil George as Vakeel, and Priyanka Sharma as Pyaari.
