When asked why Rani was cast and not his favourite Vidya Balan whom he introduced in Parineeta, Sarkar replied in an interview to Mumbai Mirror, "Yes, Vidya is my favourite. But I have other favourites too. And Rani is definitely one of them. I have a very comfortable equation with Rani. And things just fell into place as far as Rani's inclusion in the film is concerned. I told Adi that we should go with Rani in Mardaani."

The Chopra bahu has apparently indulged in a lot of stunts. According to reports, Rani shot a motorcycle scene for which she required the help of a body double. As per the Mid-Day report, the onlookers also got a bit confused between Rani Mukerji and her body double as both were dressed similarly for the shoot. Rani had created a mark for herself with her powerful portrayal of a headstrong journalist in No One Killed Jessica and a grieving mother in Talaash (2012).
