New Delhi: Excitement around Cocktail 2 has already been fuelled after a leaked clip and several photos from the film’s sets surfaced online. The viral clip shows the trio on a bustling street, dressed in chic summer outfits.

Cocktail 2 shooting location
The upcoming romantic drama, directed by Homi Adajania, is currently being filmed in Sicily, Italy, with Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna in leading roles.
Sicily, the shooting location, is known for its sun-drenched coastlines, historic towns, and rich cultural heritage. Its baroque architecture, winding streets, and Mediterranean charm have made it a popular backdrop for international filmmakers. The choice of location is expected to give Cocktail 2 a distinct visual flavour against the island’s serenading landscapes.

Earlier this month, Shahid and Kriti were also photographed filming on a rooftop. The scene, said to resemble a lively party sequence, reportedly involved the two exchanging dialogues amidst a crowd of background performers. Another sighting captured the duo walking through cobblestone streets, deeply engrossed in conversation. These glimpses have only added to the intrigue surrounding the film’s storyline.
Directed once again by Homi Adajania, who helmed the 2012 original starring Deepika Padukone, Diana Penty and Saif Ali Khan, the sequel is expected to carry forward the essence of its predecessor.
