Kriti Sanon Craves Unhinged, Liberated Character in Cocktail 2

Actress Kriti Sanon revealed her motivation for choosing the role of Ally in the upcoming film Cocktail 2. She expressed a desire for a character significantly different from the intense roles she has recently undertaken, such as Mukti in Aanand L Rai's Tere Ishk Mein. Sanon articulated that she was "missing a film like this," specifically seeking a fresh, young movie with characters who are realistically "messy" and relatable, akin to real life.

Sanon found the story of Cocktail 2 to be different, relevant, and fun, with well-written characters each possessing their own unique trajectory. She was particularly drawn to Ally's persona, describing her as "unhinged and liberated" and refreshingly distant from her own personal identity. The film, directed by Homi Adajania and written by Luv Ranjan and Tarun Jain, is slated for a theatrical release on June 19, 2026.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan, Luv Ranjan, and Ankur Garg under Maddock Films and Luv Films, Cocktail 2 promises a departure from intense narratives. Sanon's choice highlights her interest in exploring diverse characters and lighter, yet meaningful, cinematic experiences. The film is set to bring a fresh perspective to the audience with its blend of youthful energy and complex character portrayals.
