About the film and original
Cocktail 2 is written by Luv Ranjan and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. Story details remain secret. The first Cocktail (2012) followed a love triangle with Saif Ali Khan as Gautam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone as Veronica Melaney, and Diana Penty as Meera Sahni. Set in a lively city, it mixed friendship, romance, and loyalty, becoming a cult hit for its songs and fresh style. Fans hope the sequel brings the same vibe.
