Kriti Sanon on Cocktail 2
Kriti Sanon, who reunites with Shahid after their collaboration in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024), clarified during the Times Now Summit 2026 that Cocktail 2 is neither a sequel nor a remake of the original Cocktail (2012). She described it as a franchise, emphasizing that while it shares a similar vibe, it tells a distinctly different story with unique characters. Kriti stated, “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.”
