As she celebrates 30 years in the industry with the release of Mardaani 3, Rani Mukerji pens a heartfelt note ahead of the release of the threequel of her blockbuster franchise. Mardaani is India’s only female-led franchise, is the only female-led cop franchise of India and also the only successful female-led theatrical movie franchise in the history of Indian cinema.
Meanwhile, YRF (Yash Raj Films) announced the preponement of the release date of Mardaani 3 to January 30, 2026.

Yash Raj Films’ Mardaani is the biggest solo female-led franchise in Hindi cinema that has garnered love and acclaim for over 10 years now. The blockbuster franchise has received unanimous love from people and has attained a cult status amongst cine-lovers. Also, the biggest and only female cop franchise of India, Mardaani is now in its third instalment and Mardaani 3 will see Rani Mukerji reprise the role of a daredevil cop, Shivani Shivaji Roy, who selflessly fights for justice.
