Rani Mukerji is currently prepping for her action thriller film, Mardaani 2 which is inspired by real events. The actress will be reprising her role as of the fearless and committed Superintendent of Police, Inspector Shivani Roy.
Ahead of Mardaani 2’s release, Mukerji met Archana Tyagi, the Additional Director General of Police & Chief of Maharashtra S.R.P.F, in order to get a deep insight into juvenile crimes.
In a conversation with mid-day, Tyagi said, “We think that because a boy is young, he is not capable of committing a crime. But that’s not true.”
Further, she advised women and said that to never let their guard down and let go of the belief that such crimes were committed only by those from the lesser privileged section of society.
Meanwhile, Rani will also be visiting colleges to discuss the issue of juvenile crimes. Speaking about the same, she told news agency IANS, “College kids, given their age, are quite vulnerable to this threat against them and there is a growing sense of this fear among families because all we want is to protect our children and give them a great, unscarred future. I want to connect with as many students as possible through my campaign and bring as much awareness about the sharp rise in violent crimes committed by juveniles against young women in India,”
Not only that, but she will also be talking to the members of the Women Development Cell in different colleges to understand how they work towards making the institution a safe space for students, especially girls.
Directed by Gopi Puthran, the film also stars Vikram Singh Chauhan, Shruti Bapna, Rajesh Sharma, and Sudhanshu Pandey. Mardaani 2 is a sequel to 2014 release Mardaani.
Mardaani 2 is slated to hit the screens on December 13, 2019.
