The Ragini franchise appears to be gearing up for its next chapter, with fresh developments emerging around the much-discussed third instalment. Amid speculation about delays and creative reshuffles, the project is moving forward with a revised title and potential casting conversations taking shape behind the scenes.
According to information learnt by Pinkvilla, the upcoming film will be titled Ragini 3, departing from the previously speculated name Ragini MMS 3. Sources indicate that Tamannaah Bhatia and Junaid Khan are currently in discussions to headline the film, though official confirmation from the makers is still awaited. Earlier reports had suggested the project might have been put on hold indefinitely, but recent updates point to steady progress instead.
There have also been changes on the directorial front. While rumours circulated about Sahir Raza stepping away from the role, insiders confirm that filmmaker Shashanka Ghosh will take over directing duties, with Raza transitioning into a creative capacity. Producer Ekta Kapoor remains attached to the franchise, continuing her association since its inception and steering the next phase of the series.
The erotic horror thriller franchise began with Ragini MMS in 2011, starring Rajkummar Rao and Kainaz Motivala, and was followed by Ragini MMS 2 in 2014 featuring Sunny Leone and Saahil Prem. Over time, the films have carved out a niche blending found-footage horror with sensual undertones. The forthcoming instalment is expected to evolve tonally, reportedly leaning more heavily into supernatural elements while maintaining the atmospheric tension the series is known for. Specific plot details, however, remain under wraps.
