'Cocktail 2' to feature Shahid, Rashmika, Kriti Sanon's chaotic love triangle; Trailer out
Mumbai, June 2
Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon are set to bring a chaotic love story to the big screens with their upcoming film 'Cocktail 2'. The much-awaited trailer of the movie is finally out.
The almost three-minute trailer of the film features a tale of chaos, confusion and heartbreak between three friends, Kunal (Shahid Kapoor), Diya (Rashmika Mandanna) and Ally (Kriti Sanon).
In the trailer, the lead cast were seen travelling, where the trio explore their friendship and different aspects of their relationship, including a possibility of a threesome.
In some sequences of the trailer, Kriti Sanon was seen flirting with Shahid Kapoor while the actor appears to be in a relationship with Rashmika Mandanna. The situation takes a downturn when the lady duo starts fighting over Shahid Kapoor.
The movie is directed by Homi Adajania and is written by Tarun Jain and Luv Ranjan. The music of the film is composed by Pritam.
Maddock Film shared the trailer on their YouTube handle on Tuesday.
Prior to the trailer, the makers have already released the chartbuster songs from the film. Recently, they released the romantic track 'Tujhko', unveiling a soulful duet that brings together celebrated singers Arijit Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan in a deeply emotional musical collaboration.
Composed by acclaimed music director Pritam, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, 'Tujhko' is positioned as a soft, comforting love ballad that leans into classic Bollywood romance while highlighting the fresh on-screen pairing of Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.
'Tujhko' is a gentle, slow-flowing romantic track. Arijit Singh leads the song with his signature emotive style, supported by Sunidhi Chauhan's powerful vocals, creating a layered duet that enhances the track's romantic tone.
The visuals of the song feature Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in warm, sunlit frames, with summer-inspired aesthetics and flowing silhouettes. The music video focuses on quiet, affectionate moments between the characters.
The other tracks from the movie include 'Mashooqa' and 'Jab Talak'. The movie is slated to release in theatres on June 19.

Honestly, the trailer looks fun and chaotic. But why does every Bollywood love story have to be a triangle? Can't two people just fall in love without a third person creating drama? Still, Arijit and Sunidhi's song is pure magic. Can't wait to hear it in theatres! 🎵
The original Cocktail was a masterpiece because of Saif, Deepika, and Diana's chemistry. Let's see if Shahid can pull off that magic. His recent films have been hit-or-miss. Rashmika is definitely a star though. Respect for her journey from South to Bollywood! 👏
Homi Adajania made 'Being Cyrus' and 'Finding Fanny' which were brilliant. But 'Cocktail 2' feels like a commercial sellout. The 'threesome' reference in the trailer is also problematic - families take kids to watch these films. Where is the sensitivity? 🤔
Finally some good news! Bollywood has been struggling lately and Shahid, Rashmika, Kriti together will definitely bring the audience back to theatres. The songs are already chartbusters. June 19 can't come soon enough! 🍿
The 'Tujhko' song visuals are breathtaking! Shahid and Rashmika look like a perfect pair. But honestly, I'm more excited about the other tracks 'Mashooqa' and 'Jab Talak'. Pritam rarely disappoints. Hope the story has some depth beyond the love triangle.
