Kriti Sanon is gearing up for the release of the anticipated sequel of Cocktail. In Cocktail 2, the actress will share the screen with Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. Ahead of the release of the film, she opened up about her preparation for the sequel to the 2012 romantic drama.
Kriti spoke candidly about the physical preparation that went into the film. “Honestly, during Cocktail, it was the only time when I was on a very strict diet and a consistent workout routine. And for the first time, I followed a calorie deficit diet, which had never happened in my life. We were shooting in Italy, in Sicily… and when it comes to food there, it’s mostly pizza, pasta, pizza… all of that. And I was like… ah.”
Earlier, she had revealed the emotional reason behind choosing the film, sharing, “Tere Ishk Mein was so emotionally draining, it had completely emptied me emotionally. I felt I needed something light and fun, and that’s when Cocktail came my way.” The actress added that the tone of the film instantly connected with what she was looking for at this point in her career. Highlighting the importance of balance, Kriti had also shared, “I thought, ‘This is it. This is the space I want to be in.’ It’s also nice to play characters that are poles apart, to not get too much of the load on you emotionally, because going back-to-back with deeply layered roles can take a toll on you.”
Opening up about her look and character, she continued, “I think I’m looking very different from what I’ve ever looked and it’s probably the hottest character that I’ve done so far. And I think Homi is someone who has great aesthetic visual sense and he’s just inherently cool and I think he’s brought a cool side to me which I didn’t know I had.”
Cocktail 2 will be released in the theatres on June 19.
