Rani Mukerji’s ‘Mardaani 3’ Set for February 2026 Release

Mumbai, Apr 21 : Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji is all set to return to the big screen as the fierce and fearless DCP Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani 3, the latest instalment of Yash Raj Films’ critically acclaimed action-thriller franchise. The film is slated to hit theatres on February 27, 2026, just ahead of the Holi festival.

The Mardaani series, known for its gripping narratives and strong female lead, has carved a niche in Hindi cinema over the last decade. It stands out as one of Bollywood’s most successful women-centric action franchises, with Rani Mukerji’s powerful portrayal earning widespread praise.

In Mardaani 3, viewers can expect a dark and intense showdown between the forces of justice and unrepentant evil. The timing of the release—just days before Holi, a festival symbolizing the victory of good over evil—is a deliberate creative decision that mirrors the thematic undertones of the film.

Calling the film “dark, deadly, and brutal,” Mukerji hinted at an edge-of-the-seat thriller that promises to deliver a high-octane cinematic experience. The announcement has already sparked buzz among fans and netizens, many of whom consider the Mardaani series a landmark in female-led Indian cinema.

More details on the cast and plot are expected to be revealed in the coming months as production progresses.
