With just days to go before its theatrical release, Cocktail 2 is stepping up its promotional campaign across the country. The highly anticipated romantic entertainer, headlined by Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, and directed by Homi Adajania, is set to hit screens worldwide on June 19.
As part of the film's promotional tour, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna recently visited Presidency University in Bengaluru, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of students and fans. The campus transformed into a celebration zone as the two leading ladies interacted with students, danced to popular tracks from the film and shared light-hearted moments on stage.
The event quickly became a memorable experience for the university community, with photographs and videos from the interaction flooding social media. Rashmika, who enjoys a massive fan following in Karnataka, received a particularly warm welcome from the crowd. At one point, she sent the audience into a frenzy by expressing her affection for Bengaluru and its people.
One of the biggest talking points surrounding Cocktail 2 is the on-screen chemistry between Rashmika and Kriti, who play close friends in the film. Fans are eager to see how the dynamic between the two actors unfolds alongside Shahid Kapoor in what promises to be a mix of romance, friendship and emotional drama.
Meanwhile, the film has already generated strong buzz at the box office. Advance bookings, which opened on June 14, have witnessed a promising response.
Adding to the conversation is the film's 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). For National Award-winning actor Kriti Sanon, it marks the first A-rated film of her decade-long career. For Rashmika Mandanna, it is her second adult-certified Hindi release following the blockbuster Animal. Shahid Kapoor, meanwhile, is no stranger to mature-themed cinema, having previously delivered acclaimed performances in films such as Kaminey, Udta Punjab and Kabir Singh.
With strong advance bookings, an energetic promotional campaign and a star-studded cast, Cocktail 2 appears well-placed to make a splash at the box office this weekend.
