Rani Mukerji says that the fiery response to the Mardaani 3 trailer is a testament that, as a country, we are always ready to raise our voice against social crimes

Still from Mardaani 3
Yash Raj Films unveiled the trailer of Mardaani 3 a couple of days back, and it has become the biggest talking point in the Hindi film industry. Unanimously positive appreciation has been pouring in from all quarters for Rani Mukerji, who returns to reprise her widely loved character of Shivani Shivaji Roy, a daredevil cop who risks her life to save 93 missing girls in a race against time.
Rani thanks people by saying, “Shivani Shivaji Roy is not a character I switch off when the camera cuts. I carry her with me. Because through her, I’ve seen what it really means to serve. I’ve seen how lonely courage can be. I have immense respect for the cops of our country who show up every day, quietly, without complaints, without medals, serving our country and protecting us silently. Mardaani franchise is my salute to them, and I feel so happy and proud to see the people of my country pour so much love for the police force.”
