‘Mardaani 2’ that was announced last year in the month of December marks the debut of Gopi Puthran as a director. The movie is being produced by Aditya Chopra under his home banner Yash Raj Films. Like the prequel, the second part will have a young guy as the merciless villain.

As reported by a source to DNA, “Rani is raring to go and it will be thrilling to see her back in action as Shivani Shivaji Roy. What adds to the curiosity is that this time, the villain is a 21-year old who knows no empathy. Their edge-of-the-seat showdown will have the audiences glued to their seats.”

Last year Rani confirmed her role in the film and said, “Mardaani is and will always remain close to my heart. Right since its release, everyone has asked me time and again when I would be doing Mardaani 2 and I am sure this announcement will come as a present surprise to them all. Gopi has written an extraordinary script, that we’ll all love and I can’t wait to Start shooting this film soon.”

‘Mardaani 2’ is slated to release later this year.
