The highly anticipated 'spiritual sequel' to the 2012 hit Cocktail, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, has officially wrapped its stunning European schedule and is now heading to New Delhi for a pivotal, month-long leg of filming.

🇮🇹 Europe Wrap: The Sicilian Chapter Concludes

 

The 'Cocktail 2' team, under the direction of the original film's helmer, Homi Adajania, spent the initial phase of their shoot in picturesque European locales, including the scenic beauty of Sicily, Italy. Photos and clips from the sets—which went viral—showcased the lead trio's crackling chemistry against sun-drenched coastlines and charming streets, creating significant buzz among fans eager for the sequel.

 

The stylish international schedule is a signature element that the filmmakers are keen to retain, and the visuals from the Italian shoot have already set a high bar for the film’s glamorous aesthetic.

Speaking on the experience, co-star Rashmika Mandanna expressed her excitement about the camaraderie, telling media outlets, "I love Kriti and Shahid. I feel like we're the best gang together. Homi sir... is also a joy to collaborate with. I'm very excited to go back to Delhi to start shooting again.”
