The Mardaani franchise is back with a chilling twist, and the trailer of Mardaani 3 has already set social media abuzz. While Rani Mukerji returns as the formidable ACP Shivani Shivaji Roy, it is the villainous ‘Amma,’ portrayed by Mallika Prasad, who has captured the audience’s attention. Known for delivering Bollywood’s most intense and haunting antagonists, the franchise once again promises a gripping cinematic experience.
In just 24 hours, netizens have reacted with a mix of fear, intrigue, and admiration for ‘Amma.’ Audiences are captivated by Mallika Prasad’s portrayal of a cunning mastermind behind a brutal human-trafficking network. The character’s psychological complexity and menace have been widely appreciated, with fans praising the depth and intensity she brings to the role.
Reflecting on the overwhelming response, Mallika Prasad said, “Mardaani 3 has been one of the most defining projects of my career. Amma is dark, yet fiercely spirited. Bringing her to life required stepping out of comfort zones, confronting challenging truths, and immersing myself fully in the role. The journey has been demanding but incredibly rewarding.”
She further expressed gratitude to the team behind the film: “I owe immense thanks to Abhiraj Minawala for his trust and vision, Yash Raj Films and Aditya Chopra for their faith in the script and in me, and Shanoo Sharma for her support. The cast and crew have shown unmatched talent, discipline, and warmth, making the shooting process a true pleasure. Working alongside Rani Mukerji, who brilliantly portrays Shivani, has been inspiring. Her performance continues to highlight the courage of real-life women confronting unimaginable crimes.”
On the character of Amma, Mallika added, “Amma is complex and layered. The script avoids a simplistic good-versus-evil narrative, allowing audiences to explore the contradictions and motivations behind her darkness. The response to the trailer has been overwhelming, and I am truly humbled by the excitement it has generated. Amma is not what she seems, and that’s the power of this character.”Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, Mardaani 3 continues the franchise’s tradition of socially relevant cinema. While the previous films explored human trafficking and the psyche of a serial criminal, this installment delves into yet another brutal reality of society, solidifying Mardaani’s legacy of impactful storytelling.
