About Cocktail 2
The film is a spiritual sequel to Cocktail (2012), which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. The sequel stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles. It opened to lukewarm reviews from critics.
It follows college sweethearts Kunal (Shahid) and Diya (Rashmika), who are deeply in love but unsure about marriage. During a holiday in Sicily, they reunite with Diya’s friend Ally (Kriti Sanon), who joins their trip. Driven by her insecurities, Diya asks Ally to flirt with Kunal to test his loyalty, setting off a chain of unexpected events.
In a recent interaction with Filmfare, Kriti spoke about being compared to Deepika and how she didn’t let that come in the way of playing Ally honestly. She said, “Do I expect it? Yes, I do. It’s kind of obvious, as I’m doing a film which is a franchise to the film that she’s done before. The characters, somewhere, have a similar energy of being slightly disruptive, unhinged and free-spirited. But Ally and Veronica are so different, and I’m glad that they’re different. Why would I play the same character that Deepika has already done? That doesn’t make sense. That’s what’s fresh about Cocktail 2. It’s a completely different story with completely different conflicts and different characters. Ally has her own personality, even though it may seem like it’s coinciding somewhere. She’s a completely different person from Veronica.”
Cocktail 2 is directed by Homi Adajania, co-written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, and produced by Dinesh Vijan, Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg under Maddock Films and Luv Films.
