Cocktail 2
Filmmaker Homi Adajania is all set to bring Cocktail 2 to the big screen. The film, which stars Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles, has been locked for a June release. The makers made the announcement on Friday by sharing individual posters of the three lead actors. The film is a sequel to Cocktail, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty in the lead.
On Friday, the makers of Cocktail 2 announced the film's release date. Shahid Kapoor took to social media to share posters featuring himself, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna. Along with the release date announcement, the posters revealed that the film's first look will be unveiled on March 18. Coincidentally, this is the same day Dhurandhar: The Revenge will begin its theatrical run. The first look of Cocktail 2 will be attached to the Ranveer Singh-starrer and will be played along with other previews before the film begins.
The shoot for the film was wrapped in January this year. Commemorating the occasion, director Homi Adajania took to his official Instagram handle and dropped a picture of himself celebrating with Shahid, Kriti, and Rashmika.
The delightful and vibrant pic of the Cocktail 2 team further included the text, "Love you fools" and "Fun was had!".
Announcing the shoot wrap for his next, the filmmaker penned on social media, "Cocktail2 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 (red heart emoji) (sic)."
Reacting to this, Kriti commented, "Love you Homsterrrr!!"
She further re-shared Homi Adajania's post on the Stories section of her Instagram handle and penned, "Love you guys!!", followed by two red heart emojis.
Backed by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, the story of Cocktail 2 has been penned by Luv Ranjan. The details regarding the plot of the sequel have been kept under wraps for now.
The primary instalment in the franchise, Cocktail, starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty, which was also helmed by Homi Adajania, reached the cinema halls back in 2012.
Adding to the buzz, Homi Adajania, Rashmika, and Kriti keep on providing fun sneak peeks into the behind-the-scenes chaos from the shoot of Cocktail 2.
