Mardaani 3 Trailer Out
Yes, the Mardaani 3 trailer is out, and it packs exactly the kind of punch fans expect from Shivani Shivaji Roy. The new promo leans hard into the “dark, deadly, and brutal” promise that has been attached to this third chapter from the beginning, with Rani Mukerji’s supercop thrown into a race against time to rescue missing girls across the country.
What hits first in the trailer is the mood: it is grim, wired with urgency, and there’s barely any space for softness, which suits the subject.
A lot of viewers have been mentioning how the franchise has slowly moved from just being a cop thriller to almost a mirror for some of the ugliest headlines in the news, and this new glimpse continues that trend without shouting about it.
There is also a sense that the makers know the audience now trusts Shivani as a character; the trailer doesn’t waste time reintroducing her, it just throws her straight into the fire.
Mardaani 3 Cast
Mardaani 3 is led by Rani Mukerji as Shivani Shivaji Roy, with Janki Bodiwala joining the franchise in a key role, alongside a supporting cast built for an intense, issue-driven thriller. Reports and early credits point to a largely performance-focused ensemble instead of a star-studded “see who all is in this film” lineup, which fits the tone of the series.
Janki Bodiwala’s casting, in particular, has created buzz because of her breakout work in Shaitaan; she is said to be playing a cop, bringing a younger, fresh energy to the field team around Shivani.
Industry reports have mentioned how Aditya Chopra and Rani Mukerji were impressed enough with her earlier performance to bring her into this world, which suggests the dynamic between the two women might be central to the emotional core of the film.
Around them, the film ropes in recognizable faces from the crime-thriller space, giving the trailer that lived-in, procedural feel rather than a glossy, cosmetic cop universe.

About Mardaani
Mardaani 3 is described as the darkest, most brutal chapter of the franchise, with Shivani Shivaji Roy tracking a brutal child-trafficking network and racing to save multiple missing girls.
The story continues the series’ pattern: each film takes on a specific social evil, but not in a preachy way; instead, it throws viewers into the investigation with Shivani and lets the horror of the crime speak for itself.
The first film dealt with human trafficking, the second with a psychopathic serial sexual predator, and this one seems to push the stakes even higher, both in scale and emotional weight.
One thing that stands out across coverage is how consistently the makers call this instalment “dark, deadly and brutal” – not as a marketing catchphrase, but as a sort of warning about how unflinching the film intends to be.
Early write-ups describe it as a bloody face-off between good and evil, where time pressure is a key villain: every hour lost in the investigation could mean another life slipping away.
For audiences who have grown up watching Shivani outsmart monsters hiding in plain sight, Mardaani 3 feels less like “just another sequel” and more like the next, tougher round in a fight that never really ends.
