Mardaani 3 first look: Rani Mukerji returns in fearless cop avatar at 47; film to release on this date

Following the success of the first two installments, Rani Mukerji is poised to entertain fans once more as daring officer Shivani Shivaji Roy in the upcoming film Mardaani 3. The film's developers have revealed her first glimpse as well as the release date. On Monday, YRF took to Instagram to reveal the first glimpse at Rani as the daring officer in Mardaani 3.

The actor is shown wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and black boots while carrying a gun and pointing it at the camera. Along with the poster, the filmmakers disclosed the film's release date.

"The countdown has begun for #Mardaani3! On Holi, virtue will triumph over evil as Shivani Shivaji Roy returns to the big screen on February 27, 2026," YRF stated in the caption. Holi, which falls on March 4th, 2026, represents the triumph of good over evil, and the directors are positioning this film as a brutal, violent fight between Shivani's righteousness and nefarious powers, with the release date cementing that idea.
