Kriti Sanon on Cocktail 2
Kriti, who reunites with Shahid after
Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024), confirmed during the Times Now Summit 2026 that
Cocktail 2 is not a sequel or a remake of
Cocktail (2012). “It’s a franchise,” the actress said before adding, “It’s more of a vibe like Cocktail, which is also there in Cocktail 2.”
Kriti further shared, “There are two girls and one boy. The language and vibe are in a similar zone, similar world—but a very different story and very different characters. There’s absolutely no relation to Cocktail otherwise, except that it has a mix—a cocktail—of emotions, friendship, drama, music, and amazing locations.”
