Kriti Sanon offers prayers at Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple ahead of 'Cocktail 2' release

Tirupati, June 3

Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon visited the sacred Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala on Wednesday, where she offered prayers and sought the blessings of Lord Venkateswara.

Dressed in a simple traditional attire, the actress participated in temple rituals amid tight security.

Kriti's visit comes at a time when she is looking forward to the release of her upcoming film 'Cocktail 2'.

The film's trailer has been unveiled and Kriti is set to share the screen with Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.

The almost three-minute trailer of the film features a tale of chaos, confusion and heartbreak between three friends, Kunal (Shahid Kapoor), Diya (Rashmika Mandanna) and Ally (Kriti Sanon).

In the trailer, the lead cast were seen travelling, where the trio explore their friendship and different aspects of their relationship, including a possibility of a threesome.

In some sequences of the trailer, Kriti Sanon is seen flirting with Shahid Kapoor while the actor appears to be in a relationship with Rashmika Mandanna.

The situation takes a downturn when the lady duo starts fighting over Shahid Kapoor.

Prior to the trailer, the makers had released the chartbuster songs from the film. Recently, they released the romantic track 'Tujhko', unveiling a soulful duet that brings together celebrated singers Arijit Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan in a deeply emotional musical collaboration.

The other tracks from the movie include 'Mashooqa' and 'Jab Talak'.

Cocktail 2 (2026) is a standalone spiritual sequel. It is not a direct sequel to the 2012 original Cocktail, which featured Saif Ali Khan, Diana Penty and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles.

The movie is directed by Homi Adajania and is written by Tarun Jain and Luv Ranjan. The music of the film is composed by Pritam.

The movie is slated to release in theatres on June 19.

Kriti visiting Tirumala is lovely. But honestly, Cocktail 2's premise feels like a rehash of the original with less charm. The songs are catchy though - Tujhko is beautifully sung by Arijit and Sunidhi!

Nothing wrong with seeking blessings before a big release. But I wish Bollywood would stop normalising love triangles and messy relationships in the name of 'modern cinema'. Anyway, let's see what Homi Adajania brings this time - he's capable of better storytelling. 🙏

'Cocktail 2' looks like typical masala entertainment - not expecting much depth but might be fun. Kriti in simple traditional wear at the temple is refreshing to see! 😊

Is it just me or does Bollywood recycling the Cocktail franchise feel like a lazy cash grab? The original had real chemistry. Still, wishing Kriti success - she's a talented actress who deserves good scripts.

Tirupati balaji darshan is always a positive start for any project. The trailer looked chaotic but Pritam's music might save it. 'Mashooqa' is already on my playlist! 🎶

Honestly, the threesome suggestion
