For quite some time, Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, has been surrounded by speculation that the film revolves around a lesbian love story. However, the makers have now clarified that the film does not revolve around such a plot.
At the film's trailer launch in Mumbai, the entire cast and crew came together to introduce the project. During the event, the lead actors, along with the film's director and producer, dismissed rumours that Rashmika and Kriti play a romantic couple in the film.
Producer Dinesh Vijan categorically stated that Cocktail 2 is not a lesbian romance, while director Homi Adajania shed light on how the speculation began and eventually snowballed into a widespread rumour.
The film's trailer offers a glimpse into the tangled dynamics between Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, and sets the stage for a relationship drama filled with love, conflict, and complicated choices.
Directed by Homi Adajania, the romantic comedy serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail, which featured Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on June 19.
