A Peeping Moon report reveals that Rashmika is thrilled to be part of the project. This will be her third collaboration with Maddock Films, following Chhaava with Vicky Kaushal and the upcoming Thama with Ayushmann Khurrana.
The second female lead is still being finalised, and it’s expected to be someone Maddock Films has worked with before.
Shahid and Rashmika were both eager to work together, and Cocktail 2 finally makes it happen. The two were set to appear in an Anees Bazmee film last year, but the project didn’t move forward due to budget issues.

The sequel will feature a fresh cast and a contemporary twist. Production is set to start in April-May 2025.
