Yash Raj Films’ next release 'Mardaani', with director Pradeep Sarkar and Rani Mukherji in the lead, is touted as YRF’s boldest subject ever to be made and a distinct departure from Pradeep Sarkar’s style of filmmaking.

In the film Rani plays Shivani Shivaji Roy, an astute cop working in a Mumbai Crime Branch unit. She sets out to confront the mastermind behind the child trafficking mafia, which makes the mistake of kidnapping and smuggling a teenage girl who is like a daughter to her.

Fighting a war which is very personal and in an obsessive hunt for the girl, Shivani stumbles into the world of debauchery, cruel desires and exploitation and onto a case that will change her life forever. What follows is a cat and mouse game between a fearless cop and a young and ruthless mafia kingpin.

Catch Rani Mukerji in the lead, playing an edge of the seat role of a lifetime, in this raw and gritty film.

‘Mardaani’ will release worldwide on 22nd August 2014.
