'Cocktail 2' star Shahid Kapoor drops cheerful monochrome BTS with Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon ahead of June 19 release

'Cocktail 2' continues to generate attention ahead of its release, and the latest interaction involving the lead cast has become a talking point among fans. Shahid Kapoor recently shared a cheerful behind-the-scenes moment with co-stars Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon, giving audiences a fresh glimpse into the film's promotional journey. The actor posted a candid picture through his Instagram stories featuring the trio together. Along with the photo, Shahid added the caption, "what a fun," hinting at the lively atmosphere surrounding the film.

Earlier viral moment sparked discussions around 'Cocktail 2'

The latest post comes days after a brief interaction involving Shahid and Rashmika created discussions online. During a music launch event for 'Cocktail 2' held in Mumbai, a video clip featuring the two actors began circulating across social media platforms. The moment showed Shahid placing his hand near Rashmika's shoulder while posing for photographs.


Soon after, Rashmika moved slightly away, and the short clip quickly drew attention from online users. Several viewers interpreted the interaction differently and began discussing whether the actress appeared uncomfortable. Despite widespread conversations online, neither Shahid nor Rashmika publicly addressed the matter at that point.

The cast later came together again for another 'Cocktail 2' promotional event on May 29. During the appearance, Shahid appeared to jokingly reference the earlier incident. While standing together and posing for photographs, the actor playfully stepped back himself.


Kriti Sanon was seen laughing during the interaction, while Rashmika responded with a smile. Reports also suggested that Rashmika casually indicated there was no issue between them, ending many assumptions surrounding the earlier video. Apart from promotional events, 'Cocktail 2' also entered discussions because of its recently released song Mashooqa.


Soon after the track was released, some social media users claimed similarities between the song and the 1993 Italian track Se So Arrubate A Nonna. 'Cocktail 2' stars Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Kriti Sanon in key roles. The film is currently preparing for its theatrical release on June 19.
