By: Shanaz B Syed | 20 Feb 2026 1:55 PM ISTAll the way from the Telugu film industry, Kannada beauty Rashmika Mandanna has not only emerged as the National Crush but also become a sought-after heroine in Bollywood. She has done a good number of films already, with blockbusters like Animal and Thama in her kitty. She’s now coming up with a handful of more Hindi movies, and the ‘Cocktail’ movie sequel is one of them.
Bollywood portals are now full of the rumour that Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon are playing a lesbian couple in the upcoming film “Cocktail 2”. Initially, it was thought that the movie was a love triangle between Rashmika, Kriti and Shahid Kapoor. In the first instalment of the movie, Cocktail, Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty played similar roles. Looks like if Rashmika really plays this lesbian role, it will be kind of shocking for everyone.
Recently, the film completed the shooting part, and director Homi Adjania felt super happy with the way the movie was shaping up. Already, some leaked pictures of Kriti and Rashmika from the sets have set the internet on fire. As Cocktail 2 is getting ready for its September 2026 release, we have to see if Rashmika-Kriti's roles are true or not.
