YRF is gearing up for a major film release later this year, with the announcement of ‘Mardaani 3’ coming after the initial details of ‘Alpha’, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh. The year has presented a mixed performance for YRF. While ‘Saiyaara’ exceeded 500 crores, ‘War 2’ starring Hrithik Roshan faced challenges. With excitement building, the franchise is set to continue as the third installment, ‘Mardaani 3,’ has been announced. The announcement was made on the first day of Navratri.
The film stars Rani Mukerji, reprising her role as police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy. The release date is set for February 27, 2026. The film is directed by Abhiraj Minawala.
