"There was such a positive energy on set": Shahid Kapoor recalls shooting for 'Jab Talak' song from 'Cocktail 2'
Mumbai, April 8
'Jab Talak', the first song from 'Cocktail 2', was unveiled on Wednesday.
Helmed by Homi Adajania, the film features Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles.
Recalling shooting for the song, Shahid said, "Jab Talak is incredibly special to all of us, especially as it marks the first song from Cocktail 2. There was such a positive energy on set while shooting it--we truly had a great time together. Everything felt easy, warm, and effortless, and I believe that translates beautifully on screen. I'm confident audiences will connect with the honesty and joy that the song brings."
Composed by Pritam, sung by Arijit Singh and Akasa, and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, "Jab Talak" blends heartfelt emotion with easygoing holiday energy, creating a track that celebrates love, friendship and the joy of shared summer memories.
Leading ladies Kriti and Rashmika also opened up about their experience shooting for the fun song.
In a press note, Kriti shared, "Jab Talak carries such a beautiful, feel-good vibe. Shooting for it felt like living the perfect summer with friends--filled with laughter, music, and pure masti against the stunning backdrop of Sicily. I had an absolute blast filming with Shahid and Rashmika, and it was amazing to see even the international crew and dancers humming along and soaking in the energy of the song."
Rashmika added, "For me, Jab Talak is about love, friendship and carefree holiday moments you want to hold on to forever. The song has the perfect breezy and happy vibe. To add to that, working with Shahid and Kriti was too much fun."
Made under Maddock Films, 'Cocktail 2' will be released on June 19.

Shahid, Kriti, AND Rashmika? That's a power-packed cast. Pritam and Arijit Singh on music is the cherry on top. Hope the film lives up to the hype. The first song teaser was lovely.
Sounds like a fun, breezy song. Perfect for the summer heat. But honestly, I wish Bollywood would focus more on original stories instead of sequels. The first one was good, let's hope this isn't just a cash grab.
Shooting in Sicily! 😍 The visuals are going to be stunning. Love that the crew was humming along. When the vibe is good on set, it always shows on screen. All the best to the team!
Homi Adajania is back with this cast? Sold. His direction is always so fresh. "Jab Talak" has a nice ring to it. Hope the album has a few more dance numbers like "Angreji Beat" though!
The combination of friendship, love, and summer memories... exactly what we need right now. After a long week, a feel-good song is a blessing. Already added it to my playlist! ❤️
