Rani Mukerji says her cop drama Mardaani 2 intends to make 'every woman channel her inner Durga'

Firstpost  

After a gap of four years, Rani Mukerji will be seen as police inspector Shivani Shivaji Roy yet again in the second instalment of her 2015 film, Pradeep Sarkar’s cop drama Mardaani. While Rani showed off her versatility in Siddharth P Malhotra’s Hichki last year, her next outing, this time as a Police Superintendent, is in Gopi Puthran’s Mardaani 2. Again, it boils down to self-reliance.” Rani is aware the Indian audience is warming up to a more ‘realistix’ portrayal of women police officers after Netflix film Soni and series Delhi Crime. When a poet described Rani Lakshmibai, he was referring to her spirit, and not her gender, when he said, ‘Khoob ladi mardaani wo toh Jhansi wali rani thi.’” Rani jokes about how the Mardaani spirit is not going down well with her daughter, who wants to see her in a happy space onscreen.
