The music war inside Cocktail 2 has officially spilled beyond the stage. What began as a live audience vote at the film’s song launch has now turned into a playful social media face-off, with Rashmika Mandanna refusing to let the softer romantic track “Tujhko” quietly lose the spotlight to the Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon party number “Mashooqa.”
At the event, “Mashooqa” emerged as the audience favourite by a narrow margin, riding on its high-energy vibe and the pairing of Shahid and Kriti. But the real entertainment began after the vote, when Rashmika jumped in online and jokingly called the event “rigged.” Her post instantly gave fans a new team to root for, especially those who preferred the emotional pull of “Tujhko” over the dance-floor mood of “Mashooqa.”
Rashmika Mandanna Leaks Tujhko After Mashooqa Win And Then Deletes
Rashmika did not stop at teasing the result. She went a step further and shared a sneak peek of “Tujhko” on social media, giving fans a glimpse of Kunal and Dia’s warm chemistry from Cocktail 2. Describing the number as “the sound of forever kind of love,” she positioned the song as the film’s romantic counterpoint to the swagger and sparkle of “Mashooqa.”
The leak immediately shifted the online chatter from a simple song poll to a full-fledged soundtrack rivalry. Kriti Sanon also joined the banter with a cryptic post about “crying sour grapes” followed by “IYKYK,” keeping the tone light, cheeky, and perfectly in sync with the film’s youthful universe.
Rashmika later deleted the “Tujhko” glimpse, which only added to the buzz. While “Mashooqa” officially won the audience vote, the deleted teaser has ensured that “Tujhko” now has its own fan campaign brewing.
