MUMBAI: Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani won audience’s hearts. Now, film buffs are eagerly waiting for Mardaani 2 to hit the theatres soon. However, even before its release, the film seems to be in trouble.

The film is currently all set to release on 13th December 2019. However, according to the latest reports, a plea has been filed demanding a ban on the release of the film. A certain section of the people was not happy with what was shown in the film's trailer and how it apparently showed the city of Kota in a bad light. The protestors even wanted the makers to remove the word 'Kota' from the film.

A petition in Rajasthan High Court has been filed against the film challenging the release of it by a resident of Kota, Taslim Ahmed. He objected to the content shown in the trailer and alleged that it could tarnish the image of Kota city, thereby asking for a ban on the film’s release.
