Finally some good news for horror fans! Ragini MMS franchise has been a guilty pleasure of mine since 2012. But 2027 release? That's like 3 years away! 😅 Hope they don't lose momentum. London setting sounds interesting though.
Ekta Kapoor knows how to make money from this franchise! But I hope Ragini 3 doesn't just rely on Tamannaah's star power and actually has a solid story. The first one was genuinely scary because of the 'found footage' style. Let's see if Shashanka Ghosh can bring that back.
Bro, I was waiting for this announcement! Tamannaah is perfect for horror roles. Remember her in something like that? She has the intense look. Also, London schedule means they might show some haunted mansion vibes. Please don't ruin it with unnecessary songs.
Happy to see Tamannaah getting a solo franchise! She's been in many films but this is her moment with Ragini 3. Hope the horror is genuine and not just jump scares. The 'Ba***ds of Bollywood' song Gafoor was fun but let's see her serious acting here. All the best!
