Cocktail 2 is star heroine Rashmika Mandanna’s first release after her marriage to Vijay Deverakonda. The movie, also starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, will hit the screens in a few more hours. In an interview with Variety India, Rashmika spoke about how her role in Cocktail 2 is unlike anything she has done before.
“This is definitely the most urban role I’ve played, and it honestly feels so incredibly refreshing. I’ve been so fortunate to play characters that are deeply rooted, rustic, or intensely emotional in my recent films. But as an actor, the last thing I want is to get too comfortable or boxed into a specific image. When this project came my way, the vibe, the styling, the slick body language, everything was a complete 180 from what people are used to seeing me do,” said Rashmika.
She added that the romantic drama felt like the perfect opportunity to spread her wings and try a totally different flavor. The movie, directed by Homi Adajania, is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit film Cocktail, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty in the lead roles. The movie is set for a good start at the box office.
