The 2012 film Cocktail, featuring Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, and Diana Penty, left an indelible mark on audiences with its fresh take on friendship and love. A major box office success, the movie also cemented Deepika Padukone’s status as a powerhouse performer. Reports suggest that Dinesh Vijan and Luv Ranjan are teaming up to breathe new life into the beloved franchise with Cocktail 2. But this time, the cast might take an exciting turn with Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna rumored to lead the film.
A New Cast For Cocktail 2?
According to reports, the sequel is in the works, and while it promises to carry forward the spirit of the original, it’s expected to feature a brand-new star lineup. Allegedly, Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon have been finalized as the leads, with Rashmika Mandanna also likely joining the cast.
If these rumors are accurate, it will be the first time that Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna have collaborated, achieving their long-held goal of doing so. In 2023, the pair was initially supposed to appear in Anees Bazmee’s comedy-drama, but the production never came to fruition. Cocktail 2 might now be the catalyst for their reunion.
On the other hand, Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor already share on-screen chemistry, as seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, which was well-received by fans. The idea of this trio coming together for a film about friendship, love, and emotional chaos has already sparked excitement among fans.
A Fun, Fresh Take On Friendship
While there’s no official confirmation from the makers or the actors yet, reports from Pinkvilla suggest that Cocktail 2 is being penned by Luv Ranjan and directed by Homi Adajania. The script is rumored to be a light-hearted and humorous take on relationships, with friendship at its core.
As per sources, the makers are still finalizing one of the lead female roles. However, the chemistry between Shahid, Kriti, and Rashmika is expected to add a fresh dynamic to the love triangle storyline—a staple of the Cocktail franchise.
Fans Await Confirmation
Though the project is still under wraps, the buzz around Cocktail 2 has already generated considerable anticipation. With Dinesh Vijan and Luv Ranjan’s collaboration, along with the addition of Homi Adajania’s directorial flair, fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds.
The original Cocktail was a refreshing blend of humor, drama, and emotions. If the sequel captures even a fraction of its predecessor’s charm while introducing a modern twist, it’s bound to be a winner.
For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement, but the idea of Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna sharing the screen is enough to stir excitement for what’s to come.
