Bengaluru became the latest stop in Cocktail 2’s energetic promotional run as Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon took the film’s friendship-first mood into the city with a coffee rave outing and a celebration with college students. With the campaign now shifting into release mode, the makers have also confirmed that advance bookings for the film are open ahead of its June 19 theatrical debut.
The promotional line released with the Bengaluru visit captured the pitch clearly: “From dancing at a coffee rave to celebrating with college students, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon made Bengaluru their playground for a day. Friendship, fun and unforgettable memories, all with signature Cocktail 2 energy.” The announcement also added, “Advance bookings open now. In cinemas June 19.”
Latest Update On Cocktail 2
The latest confirmed update is that Cocktail 2 is releasing in cinemas on June 19, 2026, with advance bookings now live. Verified database listings and current promotional material identify the film as a romantic comedy drama directed by Homi Adajania and written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain. It is produced by Dinesh Vijan, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg under Maddock Films and Luv Films.
The lead cast includes Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. Current cast listings identify Kriti as Ally and Rashmika as Diya. The film has been described as a spiritual successor to Cocktail from 2012, though it follows a new set of characters rather than continuing the earlier story.
The Bengaluru leg of promotions fits neatly into that pitch. Instead of a routine media stop, the campaign leaned into city culture, campus energy and the visible off-screen camaraderie between Mandanna and Sanon. That makes the latest outing more than a photo opportunity, as it helps sell Cocktail 2 as a glossy, youth-facing relationship drama built around chemistry, chaos and companionship.
Rashmika Mandanna’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Rashmika Mandanna’s verified 2026 lineup includes Cocktail 2, with Wikipedia and IMDb-backed search results also listing Mysaa and Ranabaali as upcoming projects currently in progress. The Bengaluru event also underlined her connection to the city, adding a personal note to a campaign that is increasingly using the stars’ real-life dynamic as part of the film’s appeal.
In recent years, Mandanna has remained one of the most visible pan-Indian actors across languages, and Cocktail 2 extends that momentum with another high-profile Hindi theatrical release.
Kriti Sanon’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Kriti Sanon’s recent verified releases include Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Crew in 2024, followed by the OTT film Do Patti in 2024. Her 2025 film Tere Ishk Mein is a past release as of June 2026, and Cocktail 2 is her confirmed theatrical release for this month.
Filmography listings also show Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai among her announced projects. Taken together, Sanon’s slate reflects a mix of mainstream theatrical work and streaming titles, with Cocktail 2 now positioned as her immediate big-screen focus.
