Mardaani 3 shoot begins and Rani Mukerji is in full beast mode

The buzz has been building ever since Yash Raj Films dropped that fiery announcement poster last December, confirming the third chapter of the Mardaani franchise. Fast forward to now, and Rani has already started shooting — turning Vile Parle’s iconic Golden Tobacco factory into a war zone of justice since March 26. Cameras rolled. Fists flew. And the action? Reportedly chef’s kiss.

Rani Mukerji spotted shooting an action sequence for Mardaani 3 at Vile Parle

According to inside reports, the team wrapped an intense week at the Vile Parle location and has now moved into the Yash Raj Studios in Andheri. Why? Because some of the most pivotal action scenes are going down right now. Word on the street is that director Abhiraj Minawala has choreographed some major stunts that are crucial to Shivani’s next big mission. Expect fire, sweat and some good old righteous rage.

The Mardaani franchise

While the past two Mardaani films tackled human trafficking and sexual assault, Mardaani 3 is rumoured to dive into something even more real and possibly more chilling. But the biggest mystery? The antagonist. The makers are staying completely hush-hush about who will go head-to-head with Shivani this time, and we are dying to know.

According to sources, she sees this role as more than just a character — it is her tribute to India’s real-life heroes in khaki who protect and serve with zero glamour and all grit.

Produced by Aditya Chopra and scheduled to release in 2026, Mardaani 3 is not just another sequel. It is a full-blown cinematic comeback for one of Bollywood’s fiercest female leads. And honestly? We are already seated, sipping chai, waiting for Shivani to serve justice, attitude, and a few knockout kicks.
