Rani Mukerji opted for a pink sweater top, paired with distressed denim and nude coloured stilettos. On the professional front, Rani Mukerji was last seen in Hichki, and the actress is currently preparing for her role in Mardaani 2.

Rani Mukerji had wowed us all with her feisty performance in the super-hit Mardaani. She played the role of a daredevil Senior Inspector, Crime Branch, Shivani Shivaji Roy and took on the kingpin of a child trafficking racket.

Produced by Aditya Chopra, this will be Rani’s next release after the worldwide blockbuster Hichki that was hugely acclaimed by the audience and critics alike and marked her return to acting post pregnancy.

Talking about her next film Mardaani 2, Rani Mukerji said: "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."

Rani Mukerji also gave a sneak-peak while announcing the second instalment on Mardaani 2. The actress said: "Shivani will face a cold, merciless villain who has no empathy, no fear of God and is pure evil. The character has been written superbly and I’m excited to find out who the actor will be."

Yash Raj Film's edge-of-the-seat entertainer, Mardaani 2, is set to go on floors next year and will release in the latter half of 2019.

Rani Mukerji's director brother Raja Ram Mukerji bagged the Golden Galaxy award for the Best Film at the Virgin Spring Cinefest, 2018 in Kolkata. The short film, Main Kaun Hoon, inspires women to rediscover their true self.

Starring Manisha Marzara, Rana Jung Bahadur and Hemanth Rath, it has been doing the rounds of the film festivals.

Not only this, in 2017, Raja Ram Mukerji had released the short film, Sab Theek Hai, starring Roja (1992) actor Madhoo. He is keen to make films that deal with women empowerment to create awareness about it.

Talking about Sab Theek Hai, Raja said in an old interview: "Women are not treated equally or perceived to earn as much as men. People think only men are capable of earning big bucks. I always encouraged my actress wife, Jyoti, to work."
