Rashmika Mandanna ‘Accidentally’ Leaks Cocktail 2 Song Amid Kriti Sanon Banter

The promotional campaign for upcoming film Cocktail 2 appears to have taken an entertaining turn on social media, with actors Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna sparking a playful online exchange following the release of the film’s latest song, Mashooqa.

The track, featuring Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor, was unveiled on Tuesday after a special listening session hosted for media and fans earlier this week. Described as a vibrant summer romance number, Mashooqa showcases the lead pair’s chemistry against visually lavish backdrops and an upbeat soundtrack.

What made the launch particularly interesting was the makers’ decision to preview two unreleased songs from the film during the event, Mashooqa featuring Kriti and Shahid, and Tujhko, starring Rashmika Mandanna alongside Shahid Kapoor.

Attendees were then invited to vote for the track they wanted released first. Mashooqa reportedly secured a narrow lead in the voting, eventually becoming the film’s newest release.

Soon after the song dropped online, Rashmika added to the buzz with a playful Instagram Story, jokingly calling the voting process “rigged” and claiming that “most of the media were busy with work and couldn’t vote.”

Kriti appeared to respond with a cheeky post of her own, writing: “Mashooqa loves ripe mangoes and not sour grapes… IYKYK,” further fuelling fan speculation around the light-hearted exchange.

The online drama escalated later in the day when Rashmika seemingly “accidentally” shared a video clip from Tujhko on Instagram, captioning it simply with “Oops.” The move instantly grabbed fans’ attention, with many wondering whether the leak was intentional or part of the film’s larger promotional strategy.

Whether spontaneous or carefully orchestrated, the social media banter has successfully amplified excitement around Cocktail 2, turning its music rollout into a viral talking point online.
