On the auspicious first day of Navratri, Yash Raj Films unveiled a striking new poster for Mardaani 3 featuring Rani Mukerji in her iconic role as Shivani Shivaji Roy. The poster drop—accompanied by the powerful devotional chant "Aigiri Nandini"—celebrates Maa Durga’s victory over Mahisasura and signals the epic battle that Shivani will face in the third chapter of this female-led franchise.
In Mardaani 3, Shivani finds herself confronting her most dangerous case yet, risking her life to bring justice to victims. The series, famed for its hard-hitting narratives and social relevance, continues its legacy as India's only blockbuster female-cop movie franchise, thanks to director Abhiraj Minawala and producer Aditya Chopra.
Following the huge success of Mardaani (2014) and Mardaani 2 (2019), the latest installment promises a story darker and grittier than ever before, delivering a true edge-of-the-seat experience for audiences. Mardaani 3 is slated to hit theaters on February 27, 2026.
With each chapter, Rani Mukerji’s portrayal of Shivani Shivaji Roy has challenged stereotypes and inspired many, while the franchise itself forces society to confront difficult truths about crime and justice in India.
