Kriti Sanon Opens Up About Intense Preparation for Cocktail 2
Actress Kriti Sanon has revealed the rigorous physical and emotional preparation she underwent for her upcoming film Cocktail 2. The sequel to the popular 2012 romantic drama sees Kriti embracing a completely different role, one that required her to adopt a disciplined lifestyle.
Speaking about her transformation, Kriti shared that she followed one of the strictest routines of her career. For the first time, she adhered to a calorie-deficient diet alongside a consistent workout regimen. This was particularly challenging during the film’s shoot in Sicily, Italy, where she was surrounded by tempting cuisines like pizza and pasta.
Kriti also explained the emotional reasoning behind choosing the film. After working on Tere Ishk Mein, which she described as deeply intense and emotionally draining, she felt the need for a lighter and more enjoyable project. Cocktail 2 offered her that balance, allowing her to explore a fun, vibrant character while recovering from the emotional toll of her previous role.
The actress emphasized the importance of maintaining variety in her roles, noting that continuously playing heavy characters can be mentally exhausting. She expressed excitement about portraying one of the most glamorous and “hottest” characters of her career so far.
Directed by Homi Adajania, the film also stars Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. It explores modern relationships, focusing on themes of love, friendship, and heartbreak in a contemporary setting. Notably, this marks the first on-screen collaboration between the three actors.
Set for release on June 19, 2026, Cocktail 2 is expected to bring a fresh perspective while retaining the emotional essence of its predecessor.
