The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has granted an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate to Cocktail 2, a romantic drama starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna. This marks Kriti Sanon's first adult-rated film, while Rashmika Mandanna has secured her second 'A' rating following Animal in 2023. Shahid Kapoor, on the other hand, has delivered his fifth 'A' certified film and the first time he has had two adult-rated films back-to-back.
The movie, directed by Homi Adajania, serves as a spiritual follow-up to the hit 2012 romantic comedy Cocktail. It features a fresh lead cast and a complex love triangle where one man must choose between two women. The film clocks in at 150 minutes, making it just four minutes longer than the original.
Cocktail 2 is set to hit big screens on June 19, and its trailer launch saw director Homi Adajania clearing up rumours regarding a lesbian romance in the movie. The film's plot hinges on a complex love triangle, and its certification marks an interesting setup for its lead actors.
