Kriti is looking good. Also, is that Rashmika in orange? She’s looking hot.”

The sequel is produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and written by Luv Ranjan. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the makers are aiming for a theatrical release in the second half of 2026. Recently, Anaita Shroff Adajania shared a glimpse of the script on her Instagram Story, adding to the speculation and excitement around the film.

Rashmika continues to make headlines for both her personal and professional life. On the personal front, rumours about her engagement to Vijay Deverakonda have been widely discussed. Professionally, she will be seen in Thamma, releasing this Diwali, where she plays a vampire opposite Ayushmann Khurrana, one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

Kriti Sanon is preparing for her upcoming love story with Dhanush, directed by Anand L. Rai. Written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, the film promises an intense, heartfelt narrative, carrying forward the emotional depth seen in Raanjhanaa while presenting a fresh storyline for audiences to connect with.

Both actresses, through their work and the latest BTS, continue to keep fans engaged and intrigued, building anticipation for Cocktail 2.
