Rashmika Mandanna: The Perfect Ingredient
The new and thrilling trio is completed by the inclusion of Rashmika Mandanna. Although it is not revealed what role she played in the movie, the BTS snaps by Adajania depict her in an uninhibited, happy position. The director has posted images of her joking around with Shahid, which points to a good and flirtatious friendship amongst the performers.
It is a strategic decision to include Rashmika as it puts a new angle to the narrative of the film and makes it appealing to a wider audience. Being an experienced performer, she will be an added sweetness to the mix of romance and friendship that is represented by the Cocktail franchise. The decision to cast Mandanna fresh with Sanon and Kapoor makes sure that the sequel has its own identity and at the same time, it does not disrespect the essence of the first part.
