The team behind Cocktail 2 has officially started promoting the film with new character posters featuring the lead actors: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna. The production company, Maddock Films, shared these exciting visuals on March 13, just days before the highly anticipated first-look teaser, which is set to be released on March 18.
The announcement on social media has created quite a buzz, urging fans to visit theaters on March 18 for a special preview of the teaser before it drops online. Each poster introduces the central characters, showcasing their unique traits.
Shahid Kapoor’s poster showcases him as the thoughtful urban character. He leans casually against a vibrant green convertible, dressed in a stylish red-and-white patterned shirt and dark sunglasses. The beach scenery behind him adds to a laid-back vibe, hinting that he might be the emotional center of the story, blending charm with maturity.
Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna’s poster portrays her as the adventurous spirit. She is captured laughing while leaning out of the car, snapping pictures with her smartphone. Dressed in a white crochet top and pink sunglasses, her playful look suggests a character full of life and spontaneity.
Kriti Sanon, on the other hand, brings a sense of mystery and style to the trio. In her poster, she’s lounging in the backseat of the convertible, exuding a relaxed yet intriguing vibe. The focus on her striking orange-tinted sunglasses and the “Catch the sea” tattoo on her foot hints at a deeper, reflective character.
All three posters maintain a consistent theme, featuring a picturesque Mediterranean backdrop that ties together their stories visually.
Directed by Homi Adajania, who also directed the original Cocktail, this sequel is produced by Dinesh Vijan and has a screenplay written by Luv Ranjan. Alongside the lead trio, veteran actors Dimple Kapadia and Arjun Rampal, as well as Rohit Saraf, will play significant roles in the film, which was filmed in locations across Delhi, Gurugram, and beautiful Sicily.
With the teaser set to drop on March 18 and a worldwide theatrical release scheduled for June 19, 2026, the promotional campaign has already generated a lot of excitement among fans eager to see the fresh take on urban romance.
