Cinema VinesThe supernatural thriller Ragini MMS 3 is back on set after a brief production hiccup, with radio personality RJ Mahvash stepping into a key role. The film, now helmed by director Shashanka Ghosh, is already in the midst of shooting, according to insider reports. Ghosh, who has previously worked on movies such as Khoobsurat and Veere Di Wedding, is steering the project as a “date‑night thriller” that blends horror, suspense and entertainment.
Mahvash’s addition expands an already star‑studded ensemble that includes Aayush Sharma, Junaid Khan, Tamannaah Bhatia and Nargis Fakhri. Fakhri is slated to portray a police officer, adding a new layer of intrigue to the storyline. The film promises a mix of suspense, humour and supernatural elements, marking a fresh direction for the long‑running Ragini MMS franchise.
Unlike the earlier installments, which combined horror with erotic themes, Ragini MMS 3 is said to place a greater emphasis on supernatural horror. The makers are focusing on creating a chilling atmosphere filled with eerie moments, suspense and frightening sequences, moving away from the franchise’s previous formula.
The production had faced delays when original director Sahir Raza stepped away due to scheduling conflicts with a Netflix series, stalling the shoot that was initially slated to begin in January. Ghosh’s takeover revived the project, allowing production to resume smoothly. The team is now aiming for a theatrical release later this year.
With a revamped creative approach, a new director, and an expanded cast, Ragini MMS 3 is poised to open a new chapter for the franchise. As filming progresses, audiences can expect further updates on the film’s cast, storyline and release date in the coming months.
