Bollywood luminary Ranbir Kapoor has publicly acclaimed veteran actress Rani Mukerji as “one of the greatest ever actors in India” during recent conversations with Variety magazine. This heartfelt tribute coincides with Mukerji’s monumental 30-year anniversary in the Indian film industry and the impending release of her latest cinematic venture, Mardaani 3.
Kapoor, who first collaborated with Mukerji in his 2007 debut film Saawariya, reflected on their shared professional history with profound admiration. He characterized Mukerji as “one for the ages” whose selective approach to roles and projects has fundamentally transformed the portrayal of women in Indian cinema. The Animal star specifically recalled Mukerji’s encouragement during his inaugural filming experience, noting how her early confidence in his abilities provided crucial reassurance at a pivotal career juncture.
Beyond professional respect, Kapoor expressed personal admiration for Mukerji’s enduring grace and artistic dedication, describing her as an entertainer who has devoted her life to audience satisfaction. His comments arrive as the industry collectively celebrates Mukerji’s enduring legacy, particularly through her upcoming reprisal of the fearless police inspector role in Mardaani 3.
The third installment of the successful crime thriller franchise, directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, promises another gripping narrative centered on child abduction cases. Scheduled for theatrical release on January 30, 2026, the film marks Mukerji’s latest contribution to a career that has consistently redefined artistic excellence in Indian cinema.
