If Love, Sex aur Dhokha was shot in just a month, producer Ekta Kapoor has broken her own record by shooting ‘Ragini MMS’ in just 20 days. As of now, the movie shot discreetly, away from the eyes of the media, is 90 percent complete. The film stars Raj Kumar Yadav of LSD and Kainaaz Motiwala of Wake Up Side fame. The film is co-produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Alt Entertainment and I Rock Films.

Ekta confirms, “The story is based on a real life couple’s experience. We already had 50 per cent of the material and we added another half to make it more entertaining. So films like this should take 20 days max. By January 5, we will be done.” Ekta admits that the film was easier to complete because there were no stars involved. She says, “We took a decision of taking a new guy and a new girl because we wanted to make the film in a very raw manner. I wanted the couple to look as real as possible.I mean the kind of conversation they have in their bedroom. Imagine Paranormal Activity having Kate Winslet. It would have never worked.”

The TV czarina adds, “The director, the producer Sid Jain, and the team from our side were very clear what they wanted to do. Such films are made for smaller audiences so you need to make them cost effective, so that you keep making these movies.”
