On the first anniversary of the superhit Rani Mukerji-starrer Mardaani 2, director Gopi Puthran and the film's antagonist Vishal Jethwa talk about the impact the hard-hitting film has left on Indians.

Gopi says, "When people consumed Mardaani 1 and 2, the common responses were wow what a gripping film! A story which grips you and is not just preaching to you throughout the film, which I think is a stand out factor when it comes to the Mardaani series. It is, as I like to say about Mardaani, completely in a space which speaks about women, their issues and it is in that domain."
