While details about the plot and her character are still under wraps, the photo hints at a modern and stylish portrayal. Fans are eager to see how she fits into the world of "Cocktail 2" and what fresh dynamics she brings to the narrative.
"Cocktail 2" is not a direct continuation of the original but promises to carry forward the thematic essence of love, friendship, and identity in the context of modern relationships. Directed by Homi Adajania, who also helmed the first film, the sequel aims to capture the complexities of relationships in the digital age.

Production for "Cocktail 2" reportedly commenced in August 2025, with filming locations spanning across India and Europe. The makers are aiming for a theatrical release in the second half of 2026.
The original "Cocktail," starring Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, and Diana Penty, became a cult favorite for its stylish storytelling, memorable music, and emotional depth. The sequel faces the challenge of living up to the original's legacy while offering a contemporary take on love and relationships.
Adding to the anticipation, Kriti Sanon and celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania have also shared behind-the-scenes glimpses from the sets, teasing fans with snippets of the script and the overall filming process. These sneak peeks have only heightened the excitement surrounding "Cocktail 2" and its potential to redefine romance for a new generation.
Rashmika Mandanna has been juggling multiple projects, including "Mysaa," "The Girlfriend," "Thama," and "Animal Park". Shahid Kapoor is also occupied with a period drama, while Kriti Sanon recently wrapped up filming "Tere Ishk Mein". Despite their busy schedules, the cast and crew are committed to bringing "Cocktail 2" to the big screen.
