She has always expressed her desire to act in one.

Her wish is set to be fulfilled soon. Krishna, who has worked out the story and film's dialogues for the sequel during the lockdown, is now ready for the shooting of Love Mocktail 2.

Love Mocktail featured Milana Nagaraj and Amrutha Iyengar. Krishna has retained certain characters, like Vijay played by Abhilash, Sushma played by Kushi Achar and Adi, which was portrayed by himself for the sequel. However, actors for the rest of the roles for the sequel are still under suspense. The first part was jointly produced by Krishna and Milana Nagaraj, and the same will be continued for the sequel too. It will have music composed by Raghu Dixit, and cinematography and editing by Sri CrazyMindz.

Love Mocktail, which had a good run in theatres before the lockdown, did well on streaming platforms and became one of the most-viewed films on OTT. This success has made the team to re- release Love Mocktail in theatres on Friday.
