Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon To Join Shahid Kapoor In Cocktail Sequel

Rashmika Mandanna has officially joined the cast of Cocktail 2, alongside Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor. This sequel to the 2012 hit romantic comedy Cocktail 2 will feature an entirely new cast, delivering a fresh take on the genre.

Rashmika, who is on a signing spree, has already collaborated with Maddock Films for projects like Chhaava and Thama. Her addition to Cocktail 2 marks another exciting partnership with the production house. Interestingly, this will be Rashmika’s first on-screen pairing with Shahid Kapoor, after missing out on a collaboration in Anees Bazmee’s now-shelved comedy entertainer.

Kriti Sanon, a regular collaborator with Maddock Films, will also join the ensemble cast. She previously starred with Shahid Kapoor in the romantic comedy Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, which was a major success. Fans are eager to see this dynamic duo reunite on screen.

The sequel, directed by Homi Adajania, will focus on a love triangle, with Luv Ranjan penning the script and actively participating in the creative process. Known for his knack for blending humor and emotion, Ranjan’s writing promises a mix of comedy and heartfelt moments.

Production for Cocktail 2 is slated to begin in May 2025. With Rashmika, Kriti, and Shahid leading the charge, the sequel aims to replicate the charm of the original while offering a fresh narrative centered on friendship and romance.
