Rani
Mukerji
had
delivered
an
outstanding
performance
in
the
superhit
and
hugely
acclaimed
prequel,
Mardaani,
in
which
she
took
on
the
kingpin
of
a
child
trafficking
racket.
So,
naturally
the
anticipation
is
huge
to
know
which
crime
Rani
will
fight
against
in
Mardaani
2.
And
we
have
the
answer
now!
Director
Gopi
Puthran
said
in
an
official
statement,
"Rani
as
Shivani
will
be
seen
in
a
massive
showdown
with
a
21
year
old
villain
who
is
an
embodiment
of
pure
evil.
He
is
a
dangerous
criminal
who
targets
women."
Rani
Mukerji
said,
"The
film
will
see
a
woman
cop
fighting
a
pure
evil
of
a
person
to
end
crimes
against
women.
As
we
all
know,
Navratri
stands
for
the
victory
and
battle
of
good
over
evil
across
India.
Whether
it
is
Goddess
Durga's
victory
over
the
demon
Mahishasura
or
Lord
Rama's
victory
over
Ravana,
Navratri's
significance
is
key
to
this
asset
launch.
So,
we
decided
to
start
the
journey
of
Mardaani
2
on
this
auspicious
occasion."
She
further
added,
"For
me,
personally,
I'm
thrilled
that
the
first
key
communication
of
Mardaani
2
is
happening
during
Durga
Puja
that
celebrates
woman
power
in
its
truest
and
bravest
form.
Maa
Durga
took
on
the
forces
of
evil
and
defeated
it
and
Mardaani
2
will
see
a
woman
stand
up
against
evil,
against
crimes
committed
against
women
and
take
a
bold
and
brave
stand.
It's
a
hugely
pleasant
coincidence
that
Durga
Puja
and
YRF's
biggest
release
WAR
has
fallen
at
the
same
time
for
us
to
release
our
film's
asset
now."
YRF
has
still
not
disclosed
who
the
antagonist
is
in
'Mardaani
2'
but
it's
almost
certain
that
Aditya
Chopra
has
found
an
exceptionally
talented
actor
to
become
an
embodiment
of
evil.
Tahir
Raj
Bhasin
essayed
the
role
of
the
main
antagonist
in
'Mardaani'.
The
film
marks
the
directorial
debut
of
Gopi,
who
was
the
writer
of
the
first
Mardaani
film.
'Mardaani
2'
was
shot
extensively
in
Jaipur
and
Kota
in
Rajasthan.
