Heroine will show her Mardaani

Actress Rani Mukerji is gearing up for a bold and powerful role in Yash Raj Films' next project titled 'Mardaani'. It will be directed by the acclaimed Pradeep Sarkar of 'Parineeta' fame. Known for producing romantic movies like Dil To Pagal Hai, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Hum Tum and Veer-Zaara, YRF is now said to take up one of its boldest subjects in Mardaani.

Starring Rani Mukherji in the lead, playing the role of a cop for the first time, the raw and gritty film will be YRF's boldest subject ever to be made and a distinct departure from Pradeep Sarkar's style of film making. After a critically accliamed performance in 2012's Aamir Khan starrer Talaash, Rani Mukerji returns to the big-screen. The movie is expected to go on the floors later this year. It is slated to release worldwide in 2014.
