Actors Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna and Shahid Kapoor are currently travelling across cities to promote their upcoming film Cocktail 2. During a recent promotional event at a mall in Pune, an enthusiastic crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the stars. However, the situation quickly became difficult to manage after fans reportedly breached security barricades.
Videos from the venue, now circulating on social media, show a huge crowd surrounding the actors as security personnel tried to escort them through the packed venue. The event was reportedly wrapped up earlier than planned after the crowd surged forward in an attempt to get closer to the cast.

Amid the confusion, Kriti Sanon drew attention for looking out for co-star Rashmika Mandanna. Footage from the event showed Kriti keeping a firm hold on Rashmika and guiding her through the crowd while security teams worked to clear a path.

About Cocktail 2
Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 film Cocktail. The film features Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles and centres on a love triangle.
Addressing rumours during the trailer launch, Homi said, “This is where the rumour came from. We were all sitting on the set. They definitely get a little cuddly with each other because they are friends. And we just hypothetically thought, what if the story was about them and Shahid was the third wheel? And I said I wouldn’t mind making a movie like that.” Cocktail 2 is set to hit theatres on June 19.
