The film is based on vicious crimes committed by juveniles

Puthran further said crimes committed by such juvenile boys make it all the more heinous and menacing because it is very difficult to recognise them as being such a cold-blooded murderers in our daily lives. The film will reportedly throw light on this social issue. Rani will be reprising her role as the courageous, Superintendent Of The Police, Shivani Shivaji Roy. This time again, she will be pitted against a young but ruthless villain. Reportedly, the film is based on the horrifying crime which happened a few years back on the Yamuna Expressway where four young women were brutally raped.

The trailer of the film also shows the antagonist picking up young women in the car and later, brutally raping them which is similar to the incidents which happened on the Yamuna Expressway. According to sources, when the culprits were caught by the police, they had no remorse for committing the crime and claimed that the crimes were just a tactic to attract the attention of the police. These incidents reportedly became the inspiration for Mardaani 2. The film is bankrolled by Yash Raj Films. It will be hitting the theatres on December 13, 2019. The film is a sequel to the original film, Mardaani which was well-received by the viewers. The film also starred Tahir Raj Bhasin and Jissu Sengupta in pivotal roles.
