Kriti Sanon stars as the glamorous Ally in Cocktail 2, a character whose free-spirited and disruptive energy has drawn comparisons to Deepika Padukone's iconic Veronica from the 2012 film. While Kriti expected the comparisons, she believes the similarities end there. The actress recently opened up about what makes Ally stand apart.

Kriti Sanon on comparisons with Deepika Padukone

In an interview with Filmfare, 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 coincides somewhere. She’s a completely different person from Veronica."
