'Cocktail 2' trailer to release on May 29
What's the story
The makers of Cocktail 2 hosted a fun event in Mumbai on Sunday, giving the media an exclusive preview of two songs from the film. The tracks, titled Mashooka and Tujhko, feature Shahid Kapoor with Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, respectively. The event was attended by the film's stars and crew, including director Homi Adajania and music director Pritam Chakraborty. The makers also revealed that the film's trailer will be released on May 29.
Song preview
Both tracks focus on Kapoor's character
The first song, Mashooka, features Kapoor and Sanon in a playful mood. The foot-tapping number is set in Sicily, Italy, and other picturesque locations. It ends with a seductive dance sequence between the two actors, according to Bollywood Hungama. The second song, Tujhko, is sung by Arijit Singh and focuses on Kapoor and Mandanna's characters, who were college sweethearts before destiny pulled them apart.
Song selection
Makers played interesting game with the media
After both songs were unveiled, the media was asked to decide which one should be released first. Initially, journalists were asked to simply shout out their preferred track's name. However, later, a QR code flashed on the screen directing them to a link where they could cast their vote. Mashooka received more votes than Tujhko, leading to some fun banter among the team about which song should premiere first.
Release
Dinesh Vijan is producing the movie
Producer Dinesh Vijan then announced that Mashooka would indeed be the first song to be launched, followed by Tujhko. The film is scheduled to release in cinemas on June 19, 2026. It's a spiritual sequel to Adajania's 2012 film Cocktail, starring Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, and Diana Penty.
