Rashmika Mandanna or Kriti Sanon might replace the iconic role of Deepika Padukone in Cocktail 2. Thirteen years after its release, the romantic drama Cocktail still remains a fan-favourite. Known for exploring the thin line between love and friendship, the film’s unique storytelling and powerful performances, especially by Deepika Padukone as Veronica, won hearts across the country. Now, excitement is building for the much-awaited sequel, Cocktail 2.
The original story revolved around three characters: Gautam (played by Saif Ali Khan), Veronica (Deepika Padukone), and Meera (Diana Penty). It tackled the complexities of relationships, emotions, and choices. Veronica’s carefree, bold, and emotional nature struck a chord with the audience, making Deepika’s performance a standout in her career.
The sequel promises a fresh take with a new cast. Replacing Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty are two of today’s most popular actresses, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon. Both actresses have proven themselves in diverse roles, and fans are eager to see who will take on the bold, wild role of Veronica and who will portray the more reserved, thoughtful Meera. Leading opposite them is Shahid Kapoor, who plays the male lead in this emotional rollercoaster.
The film’s team has not yet confirmed who replaces Deepika’s character, but discussions online are heating up. While Kriti has showcased playful charm in past roles, Rashmika has impressed audiences with her depth and versatility in films like Pushpa, Animal, and Sarileru Neekevvaru. Whoever takes on Veronica’s role will have big shoes to fill.
Cocktail 2 aims to recreate the magic of its predecessor, with fans hoping the characters and storyline will connect just as strongly as the original did. With a strong cast and high expectations, all eyes are now on this emotional love triangle set to unfold once again on the big screen.
