Rani
Mukerji
will
be
back
on
the
screen
in
her
much
loved
cop
character,
Shivani
Shivaji
Roy,
with
Mardaani
2.
The
prequel
of
the
movie
was
a
fabulous
hit
among
audiences,
and
Rani
was
praised
for
her
performance
as
the
tough
cop.
One
may
be
tempted
to
draw
parallels
between
the
'Mardaani' series
and
Rohit
Shetty's
cop
films
such
as
Singham,
Simmba,
and
Sooryavanshi.
Rani
says
that
the
two
are
very
different
as
her
character
from
Mardaani
is
more
grounded
and
realistic,
and
wouldn't
fit
in
Rohit's
cop
universe.
Peepingmoon
quoted
Rani
as
saying,
"My
cop
character
Shivani
from
Mardaani
is
different
from
Ajay's
Singham,
Ranveer's
Simmba,
Akshay's
Sooryavanshi
and
even
Salman
Khan's
Chulbul
Pandey
because
I'm
a
woman."
She
continued,
"I
don't
know
if
Shivani
Shivaji
Roy
has
place
in
Rohit's
cop
universe.
Mardaani
as
a
franchise
talks
about
real
life
cops
and
is
a
realistic
take
on
how
crimes
are
handled
in
our
country.
Rohit's
cop
universe
has
larger
than
life
cops.
My
character
is
probably
more
grounded."
Mardaani
2,
like
the
prequel,
is
produced
by
Aditya
Chopra.
The
second
installment
is
directed
by
Gopi
Puthran,
and
is
set
to
hit
theatres
on
December
13.
Rani
has
been
visiting
police
officers
across
the
country
in
the
run
up
to
Mardaani
2's
big
release.
Recently,
she
visited
the
Police
Control
Room
in
Mumbai,
which
she
said
was
a
huge
learning
experience
for
her.
Rani
was
full
of
gratitude
to
the
police
force
for
dedicating
their
lives
towards
protecting
the
citizenry
of
this
country.
