Rashmika Mandanna's first theatrical release after her wedding is going to be Cocktail 2 (Hindi).
June 19 is when this Homi Adajania-directed spiritual sequel to the 2012 blockbuster Cocktail is going to hit the cinemas.
Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon have other lead roles. The latter is known for Prabhas' Adipurush in recent times.
Announced as a breezy "vibe sequel" rather than a direct continuation of the original plot, it aims to capture the same modern, urban energy that made its predecessor a hit. Cocktail 2 is produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films.
Cocktail 2 is a romantic comedy-drama. It explores themes of modern friendship and complex relationship dynamics, likely revolving around a central love triangle. But could there be more? Early rumors have teased a more contemporary spin on these traditional tropes.
For Rashmika Mandanna, after serious movies like Pushpa 2, Chhaava and Animal, Cocktail 2 puts her in an urbane zone. She has acted in a collegiate rom-com like Kirik Party in the past. Bheeshma and Geetha Govindam, among her early hits, were also rom-coms. She recently married Vijay Deverakonda, her Ranabaali co-star.
