Rani Mukerji will soon be reprising her role as the fearless cop Shivani Shivaji Roy in the crime-thriller Mardaani 3. The actor has extended her heartfelt salute to the Indian Police Force and said that their sacrifices shouldn’t go unnoticed.
Expressing her heartfelt gratitude towards the Indian Police Force, Rani said “It is an honour for me to salute the Indian Police Force through my film franchise Mardaani and I also look forward to every opportunity possible to salute the hard work of the police across the country by participating in as many of them. In every corner of our nation, there are cops protecting people, risking their lives, sacrificing their personal time to keep us safe. Words cannot do justice to the work that the police force of our country does to put our nation and the people first.”
She added, “We should never forget that behind the uniform, there is a human being who chose to do good, chose the path of selfless service and decided that the country comes first. We should never forget that they are also someone’s son, daughter, husband, wife, father, mother. I respect the force with all my heart and I will make it a point to say this loudly to every Indian.”
Rani mentioned the “exemplary” work done by the police and said, “They leave their homes with no certainty of returning back. They confront dangerous crimes and criminals like a lion. I have been amazed to see their grit and courage and their lives have inspired me to live fearlessly. We should not let their work and their sacrifices go unnoticed — they miss important moments of their lives to serve the nation.”
She added, “It cannot get more selfless than this and I love honouring them through Mardaani. The Indian Police Force should be a reminder to us all what courage, devotion and unwavering patriotism means and how we can all learn from them and do our bit to stand up for the country.”
Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, Mardaani 3 is set to be released in theatres on February 27, 2026.
