Film overcame casting and production hurdles before going on floors
Ragini 3 has been making headlines since its early development. Reports initially suggested that Nora Fatehi had been considered for the lead role. However, she reportedly exited the project in September 2025 because of scheduling commitments, including an international shoot in Los Angeles.

Earlier this year, reports claimed that the film had been put on hold after director Sahir Raza stepped away from directing due to scheduling conflicts. Soon after, the makers officially unveiled the project with Tamannaah Bhatia and Junaid Khan as the lead pair.

The film will now be directed by acclaimed filmmaker Shashanka Ghosh, while Sahir Raza continues to remain creatively associated with the project.

Backed by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures, a division of Balaji Telefilms Ltd., Ragini 3 has already generated considerable buzz among moviegoers. The makers have described the project as a “Date Night Horror,” although story details and the rest of the cast have been kept under wraps.
