Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor are back with a sizzling summer anthem as the makers of Cocktail 2 unveiled their latest track, Mashooqa. The upbeat number has already started trending online, thanks to its energetic vibe, stylish visuals, and crackling chemistry between the lead pair.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Italy, Mashooqa perfectly captures the essence of carefree romance, youthful energy, and glamorous chaos. The song showcases Kriti in a stunningly stylish avatar, while Shahid effortlessly matches her charm and playful spirit throughout the video.
Composed by Pritam, penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and sung by Raghav Chaitanya, Mahmood, and Ruaa Kayy, the track blends vibrant beats with an international musical touch. Mahmood also contributed to the Italian portions of the song as co-composer and lyricist.
At the end of the song, the makers announced that the trailer of Cocktail 2 will be released on May 29, 2026. Speaking about the track, Shahid shared that Mashooqa instantly pulls listeners in with its vibe and revealed that shooting the song with Kriti was an absolute blast because of its fun and carefree energy. Kriti echoed the same sentiment, saying that both of them were simply enjoying themselves while filming and that audiences would love the fresh sound and vibe of the track.
Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna has sparked speculation among fans after many noticed what appeared to be a subtle tease of her romantic track Tujhko with Shahid Kapoor in a recent social media update. Though there has been no official confirmation yet, fans believe the actress may have intentionally dropped a sneak peek of the upcoming song.
The buzz comes shortly after Rashmika jokingly called the voting at Cocktail 2’s recent event “rigged” while asking audiences to wait for Tujhko before forming opinions. This has now led fans to wonder whether the actress is teasing the track in response to the growing popularity of Mashooqa.
Directed by Homi Adajania and written by Luv Ranjan, Cocktail 2 serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 romantic drama Cocktail starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. The film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on June 19, 2026.
