The duo has been cast in the sequel of Cocktail. Alongside Shahid and Rashmika, Kriti Sanon will be seen in Cocktail 2. The movie is directed by Homi Adajania, who helmed the first installment too, featuring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. Cocktail  (2012) turned out to be a big hit and the same expectations are from the forthcoming sequel. Some portions of the film have been shot abroad in Sicily, Italy and images of the cast in skimpy, tropical outfits have already excited fans for what's in store.

After Cocktail 2 releases, possibly in the second half of the year, Shahid and Rashmika are expected to reunite on the sets of another rom-com. This movie will be directed by Amit Sharma of Badhaai Ho and Maidaan fame. As per circulating reports, in Amit's film, Shahid and Rashmika's onscreen dynamics are expected to be more personal, emotional and layered compared to the breezy, modern relationship issues that will be explored in Cocktail 2. This means that while the actors may reunite for a film in a similar genre, the performances and storyline are expected to be completely different. This project is expected to go on the floors soon.

Apart from Cocktail 2 and the new movie with Rashmika, Shahid is expected to begin shooting for the second season of Farzi this year.
