Before wrapping up its shoot in January, the cast and crew of Cocktail 2 shot a vibrant special number in Mumbai, featuring Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Kriti Sanon - bringing a splash of colour to an otherwise dark, edgy narrative.

"Cocktail 2 is about love, betrayal, and revenge. The two girls - Rashmika and Kriti - have more layers to them. To lighten the intensity, there are lots of peppy dance tracks," informs a source close to the production, adding that the setting of the song revolves around an engagement ceremony. Composed by Pritam, the track is an original, and the team built a "huge house" in Film City for the number.

The trio also shot a final club song before the schedule came to a close. "Pritam has made some great stuff for this outing, including a peppy, fun, club song which features the three leads. We shot this in Film City," shares the source, adding that the tracks were locked and ready before Mandanna's February wedding with Vijay Deverakonda.
