One of the most eagerly awaited future movies that the public is looking forward to is Homi Adajania’s Cocktail 2. The crew recently finished filming the movie, and the director posted a beautiful photo of the group on Instagram. Homi Adajania wrote, “Cocktail 2 shoot wrapped. I may be biased, but this one feels a tad special. Big love to my fab crew & cast for tolerating the absurdity that I am. Love you guys.”
The picture featured Homi Adajania along with the three leads – Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. Rashmika Mandanna commented, “Homsterrrrr!!!! Biggesttt love to you!!” Kriti Sanon wrote, “Love you Homsterrrr!!”
In an interview, Kriti Sanon mentioned that she was seeking for a film that was not as serious as her latest release. “I think Cocktail 2 just happened at the right time. I was craving for it. I wanted to go into that really young, urban, fun space of a rom-com,” the actress said.
“Yes, it’s a sequel, but it’s more of a vibe sequel, I feel. The story is completely different, the characters are completely different, and their backstories are completely different. So everything is different, except for the vibe of Cocktail. And of course, Maddock Films and Homi Adajania. So that remains as is,” she added.
The actress mentioned, “I think I’m looking so different from what I have ever looked, which I’m very excited about, and it’s also very fresh.”
Drawing parallels between her film and its prequel, Kriti Sanon said, “When you watch Cocktail 1, something about it still feels today. It doesn’t make you feel like it’s, what, 12 years old or something, you know? And you still feel like it’s today’s film. And I think that’s how even this film is. It’s very refreshing, the visuals are stunning, and it’s got a take on modern equations and relationships. Very relevant to what it speaks about. And I’ve had a blast shooting with Shahid and Rashmika, and of course, Homi is mad, so his craziness kind of keeps us all going for a fun ride.” After Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Kriti and Shahid Kapoor collaborated in Cocktail 2. By the end of 2026, the movie is anticipated to be released.
