Yash Raj Films’ Mardaani is the biggest solo female-led franchise in Hindi cinema that has garnered love and acclaim over 10 years now.

The blockbuster franchise has received unanimous love from people and has attained a cult status amongst cine-lovers.

On the release anniversary of Mardaani 2, YRF on Friday officially announced that it is making Mardaani 3 with Rani Mukerji again essaying the character of a daredevil cop Shivani Shivaji Roy.

Speaking of the new installment, Rani says, "I’m thrilled to announce that we are starting shooting of 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."

Rani revealed Mardaani 3 will take the adrenaline rush several notches higher than the previous films.

She says, "When we set out to make Mardaani 3, we were hoping that we would find a script that would take the experience of watching a Mardaani franchise 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!"

Mardaani 3 will see Aditya Chopra empower two talents from its direction and writing team to creatively collaborate and take forward the legacy of the franchise.

The Railway Men fame Aayush Gupta has written the script of Mardaani 3.

With The Railway Men, Aayush debuted on streaming as a screenplay and story writer and saw meteoric success as the series was a global success and also went on to become the best ever series from India.

His gut-wrenching and hard-hitting edgy writing was lauded worldwide.

Mardaani 3 will be directed by Abhiraj Minawala, who has also been groomed by YRF and assisted on films like Band Baaja Baarat, Gunday, Sultan, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Tiger 3 to name a few.

Abhiraj is currently the associate director of War 2.
