After "Raaz" and "Raaz 2", Vikram Bhatt is looking forward to the release of the third part of the horror film - it comes out July 6 next year.

"The filming of 'Raaz 3' begins on 15th January... releases on July 6th 2012!" Bhatt posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

The movie will star Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez along with Bipasha Basu, who will make a comeback in the Bhatt camp after reportedly turning down a lead role in "Murder 2".

"So it official now.. the cast of Raaz 3 - Emraan, Jacqueline and... Bipasha Basu, " Bhatt posted.

The filmmaker also declared the name of the character which the cast will play on-screen.

"Shanaya it is for Bipasha's name in Raaz 3!! Jacqueline's name is Sanjana. The Hero of Raaz 3 is Emraan Hashmi and the name of his character is Aditya, much like Raaz..." Bhatt posted.

The film will also see Bhatt returning to Vishesh Films after 2003 movie "Footpath".
