After leaving a lasting impact with her performance in intense films such as Do Patti (2024) and Tere Ishk Mein, Bollywood beauty Kriti Sanon is now busy shooting for a rom com. We are talking about Homi Adajania\u2019s Cocktail 2<\/a>, also starring Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. The film will serve as the spiritual sequel to the director\u2019s iconic 2012 film Cocktail, which introduced us to the unforgettable onscreen trio of Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan and Diana Penty. Well, in a new interview, Kriti has now opened up about working with Shahid and Rashmika, and how the sequel is different from Cocktail part 1.<\/p>\n

Talking about how she wanted to do a light film, after the intense and heavy Tere Ishk Mein, Kriti Sanon told Zoom, \u201cI 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. And yes, it\u2019s a sequel, but it\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kriti shared, \u201cBut it\u2019s been fun. We\u2019ve shot about two major schedules. We\u2019re going to start another one right now in Mumbai. It\u2019s got amazing music.\u201d She went on to add, \u201cI think I\u2019m looking so different from what I have ever looked, which I\u2019m very excited about and it\u2019s also very fresh. When you watch Cocktail 1 also, something about it still feels today. It doesn\u2019t make you feel like it\u2019s what, 12 years old or something, you know? And you still feel like it\u2019s today\u2019s film. And I think that\u2019s how even this film is. It\u2019s very refreshing, the visuals are stunning, it\u2019s got a take on modern equations and relationships. Very relevant to what it speaks about. And I\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

This project marks Shahid and Kriti\u2019s second film together, after Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, where the latter played the role of a robot. When asked about this reunion, Kriti replied, \u201cBut finally I\u2019m human!\u201d<\/p>\n
