In September, she shared snapshots from the movie's shoot in Italy, capturing moments from napping to making funny faces, enjoying the beautiful Italian scenery during a run, and indulging in ice cream. Her time in Italy seemed filled with joy.

'Italy – you beauty!!! ❤️ You have me for a couple of days and I hope amazing memories are created ❤️ #Cocktail2,' she wrote in her post.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and scripted by Luv Ranjan, the storyline for this eagerly awaited drama remains a mystery.

The original Cocktail, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty, was released in 2012 and also directed by Homi Adajania.

Cocktail 2 is anticipated to hit theaters in 2026.

In addition to this project, Rashmika is also set to appear in Rawindra Pulle’s film Mysaa, which is described as an emotional action thriller featuring her as a character from the Gond community.
