Rashmika Mandanna, who is currently busy with the filming of Cocktail 2 alongside Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, has taken up a second responsibility on the film's sets.
The actor has shared a photo of herself on her Instagram stories in which she is seen cranking a camera with goofy expressions. She further mentioned the actual DOP of the film, Santhanakrishnan, and wrote, "My 2nd job is secure… No? @santha_dop." (sic)
Cocktail 2 will follow the 2012 Cocktail starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. Homi Adajania, who helmed the original, is also directing the sequel. The film, backed by Maddock Films' Dinesh Vijan, has a script by Luv Ranjan. The makers are yet to reveal the film's plot.
Cocktail was favourably received both critically and commercially, and Deepika’s performance as the boisterous yet vulnerable Veronica was especially praised. The film also marked Diana’s debut. Songs like ‘Tumhi Ho Bandhu’, ‘Daaru Desi’ and ‘Second-Hand Jawaani’ from the film became instant chartbusters.
Cocktail 2 is expected to hit theatres in 2026. Meanwhile, Rashmika was last seen in The Girlfriend. She also has Mysaa in the pipeline.
