The makers of Rani Mukerji’s popular film franchise Mardaani have released the trailer of the third instalment of the series. The trailer sees Rani reprising her role as the fearless and uncompromising cop Shivani Shivaji Roy. This time, Shivani joins the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and is tasked with investigating the kidnapping of two young girls.

However, as Shivani digs deeper into the case, she uncovers a massive human trafficking racket run by an elderly woman known as Amma, played by Mallika Prasad. The trailer reveals that Amma has been buying girls from across the country for Rs 10 lakh each and injecting them with a substance that puts them to sleep. The video then shows Rani’s character stating that the case goes beyond trafficking and is linked to a larger beggar mafia. In one of the disturbing moments, a rescued girl is shown coughing up blood at a hospital, underscoring the brutality of the crime.

While confronting Amma, Shivani declares, “I am a cop who won’t take cuts from people like you but will cut you.” The subsequent scenes show Rani’s character racing against time to save several girls trapped in the horrifying racket.

The official Twitter handle of Yash Raj Films shared the trailer and wrote, “It is a race against time & there will be no mercy. Shivani Shivaji Roy is back to rescue girls who go missing without a trace. #Mardaani3Trailer out now. #Mardaani3 releasing only in cinemas near you on 30th Jan.”

The film also stars Shaitaan fame Janaki Bodiwala in a key role. Mardaani 3 has been written by Aayush Gupta, who previously wrote YRF’s The Railway Men. The film is directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra.

The film is scheduled to release in theatres worldwide on January 30, 2026.
