On Friday, Homi was the first to share the photograph on his Instagram Stories, captioning it, "Always fun to wonder & ponder with you Rashoo @rashmika_mandanna #cocktail2 #BTS. (sic)."
Rashmika later reshared the post on her own handle and cheekily responded, “You put up this photo because you look amazing here, don’t lie (sic)."
The exchange quickly caught the attention of fans, who had been eagerly awaiting updates from the much-anticipated film. Rashmika has been actively promoting Cocktail 2 and recently expressed her gratitude for the positive response the project has received.
Cocktail 2 stars Rashmika Mandanna alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in lead roles.
The film serves as a spiritual sequel to Homi Adajania's 2012 hit Cocktail, which featured Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty.
While the original film explored modern relationships, friendship and love through the lives of its three protagonists, the upcoming instalment is expected to present a fresh story with a new set of characters while retaining the emotional core that made the first film popular among audiences.
Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 is slated for a theatrical release on June 19, 2026.
