About Cocktail 2
Directed by Homi Adajania, the film wrapped its shoot in January.
Sharing a fun picture with the leads, 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."
Kriti Sanon, in an earlier interview with Zoom, drew a parallel between the prequel and the new film, saying: "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," she added.
The film will release in theatres on June 19.
