Mardaani 3 was released on January 30, 2026, and it is getting a decent response at the box office. While Rani Mukerji has received amazing reviews for her performance, the antagonist of the film, Mallika Prasad, who plays the role of Amma in Mardaani 3, has also grabbed everyone's attention with her act.
Recently, Mallika revealed that there was a reason why details about her character were kept under wraps. She said, “There's always a lot of joy in the movies whenever there is a big reveal, or there is a surprise. The Mardaani franchise has excelled at creating great villains, so with the character of Amma, this was the plan to keep things under wraps until the timing was right for the surprise reveal of the first female villain of the franchise.”
Mallika Prasad On Audience's Reaction To Her Performance
Further talking about the response that she has received for her performance, Mallika said, "All the love and congratulations I've got from fans on my social media for my performance seems to suggest that the character of Amma ‘hits different’ - with creepy supervillain vibes.”
“The score by John Stewart Eduri and the songs by Sarthak Kalyani give the character that extra something, as the character of Amma's ‘evil boss music’ adds to her menace," the actress added.
