Mardaani 2 will have a new antagonist as opposed to Tahir Raj Bhasin who played the villain in Mardaani.
Unlike its first part, which was directed by Pradeep Sarkar, Mardaani 2 will be directed by Gopi Puthran.
The film went on floors in the beginning of 2019.
Yash Raj Films had released a press statement earlier in the year in which Rani had called Mardaani 2‘s script ‘ extraordinary’.
“Mardaani is and will always be extremely close to my heart. Right since its release, everyone has asked me time and again when I would be doing Mardaani 2 and I’m sure this announcement will come as a pleasant surprise to them all. Gopi has written an extraordinary script that we all love and I can’t wait to start shooting this film soon,” she said.
