Not sure about this sequel. Original Cocktail had such great chemistry between Deepika and Saif. Hope they don't ruin the legacy. Kriti is good but she's no Deepika when it comes to such roles.

Italy shoot sounds amazing! Bollywood needs more international locations. Kriti has really grown as an actress - from Heropanti to now doing sequels of iconic films. Girl's on fire 🔥

Shahid Kapoor in Cocktail 2? That's interesting casting! He's got great comic timing. But I hope they don't make it too similar to the first one. Need fresh story, not just same plot with new faces.

Kriti is working non-stop these days! Tere Ishk Mein, now Cocktail 2. Hope she doesn't get overexposed. Quality over quantity please. Still, best wishes to the team. Homi Adajania knows how to make stylish films.

Original Cocktail's music was legendary - "Tumhi Ho Bandhu", "Daaru Desi" still on my playlist. Big shoes to fill for AR Rahman this time. Hope he delivers something equally peppy and romantic!
