If all had gone well, Telugu heart-throb Rashmika Mandanna would have been in Delhi this week shooting for Cocktail 2. Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2, is a direct sequel to the 2012 film Cocktail which catapulted Deepika Padukone’s career to dizzying heights.
Cocktail 2 is likely to do the same to Mandanna’s career in Hindi cinema. However, the project will have to wait. The postponement of the long schedule in Delhi of Cocktail 2, which was to begin on November 12, puts the project behind schedule.
A source close to the project says, “The decision to cancel the Delhi schedule was taken after the ghastly blasts. It would be most inappropriate to shoot a film in the Capital at this point when Delhites are reeling under the shock. Nation comes first, everything else later.”
