‘It’s romantic without trying too hard’

Actor Shahid Kapoor opens up about the soft romance and effortless chemistry with Rashmika Mandanna in Tujhko

The makers of Cocktail 2 on Monday unveiled the romantic track Tujhko picturised on Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. The actor says its “romantic without trying too hard”.

Shahid said in a statement: “Tujhko has a certain stillness to it. the kind that sneaks up on you. It’s romantic without trying too hard, and that’s what I connected with most. There’s an ease and intimacy to the song that feels very real.” “Shooting it with Rashmika was effortless. we just leaned into the emotion of it. I think it’s one of those songs people will want to sit with for a while.” 

The song is all about soft chemistry and moments that feel deeply personal yet cinematic. Wrapped in warm visuals, flowing silhouettes and sunlit frames, Tujhko creates a world that feels tender, effortless and emotionally immersive. Composed by Pritam, sung by Arijit Singh, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the track blends emotional vulnerability with a breezy summer softness that perfectly complements the film’s world. 

Rashmika added: “For me, Tujhko feels like a warm hug. It’s soft, emotional and filled with little moments that feel very real.” “I loved shooting this song with Shahid, and I think there’s something very calming and beautiful about the way the song unfolds.” 

Cocktail 2 is set to release in the cinema halls on June 19. Directed by Homi Adajania, the movie is believed to be a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail, which featured Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty as the lead.
