Mardaani 2: Rani Mukerji to interact with college students on juvenile crime rate

The trailer of Rani Mukerji starrer Mardaani 2 was released a few days ago. The movie is about a serial rapist who is a juvenile. The actress has kickstarted the promotions of the film and will be visiting colleges to promote it.

She will be meeting the members of the Women Development Cell of colleges to understand the steps taken by them to make colleges a safe place for girl students. Not just that, but the actress will also interact with both male and female students in colleges to make them sensitive towards standing up against sexual predators.


Talking about it Rani said, “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.”

“I will be meeting and interacting with members of the women’s cell from across colleges of our country to discuss at length how they are raising awareness about this critical and challenging social issue that the students are facing in the college premise. Students need to be made aware of menace because the threat is all around them, walking with them, sitting around them and constantly looking at them as preys. It’s a tough world that we are living in and raising our children, especially daughters, and we have to protect them at any cost. I hope I can spread the message of awareness to as many people as possible,” the actress added.

Directed by Gopi Puthran and produced by Aditya Chopra, Mardaani 2 is slated to release on 13th December 2019.

Kamal Haasan’s 'Thug Life' banned in Karnataka after protests over controversial Kannada remark

Kamal Haasan’s new film Thug Life is caught in a storm in Karnataka, where protests and a formal ban have emerged following a controversial remark made by the actor at a recent event.
