Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone fuels Cocktail 2 buzz with Veronica return rumours

Actor Deepika Padukone is once again in the spotlight, this time over reports suggesting a possible return as Veronica in Cocktail 2. The speculation has emerged from online discussions, with fans expressing interest in seeing the character back on screen. However, there has been no official confirmation from the makers so far.

The buzz gained traction after a Reddit post claimed that Deepika may have already filmed a cameo. The post stated that she was “repeatedly requested” to reprise her role and eventually agreed to appear. It further suggested that the shoot may have taken place during a recent visit to a production office in Mumbai. Despite these claims, the production team has not responded to the reports.

Deepika originally played Veronica in the 2012 film Cocktail, a performance that remains one of her widely discussed roles. The sequel is expected to feature a new cast, including Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. Her reported return, even in a brief appearance, has added to the conversation around the film.

At the same time, Deepika has been in the news for her personal life. She recently announced her second pregnancy with actor Ranveer Singh. On the work front, she was last seen in Singham Again, where she played DCP Shakti Shetty as part of Rohit Shetty’s cop universe.

Unverified plot details about Cocktail 2 are also circulating online. Some posts suggest that the story may revolve around a complex relationship involving the three lead characters. According to these claims, Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna play a couple, while Kriti Sanon’s character is emotionally involved with Rashmika. The narrative is said to take a turn later, though these details remain speculative.

Directed by Homi Adajania, who helmed the original film, Cocktail 2 is scheduled for a theatrical release on June 19. Until an official update is shared, the reports around Deepika’s cameo continue to remain unconfirmed.
