Director Homi Adajania’s Cocktail 2 is set to arrive in cinemas on Friday, June 19, and has already generated strong buzz because of its franchise value, chartbuster music, youthful appeal and fresh casting. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the Shahid Kapoor-Kriti Sanon-Rashmika Mandanna-led Cocktail 2 with an A certificate.
Cocktail 2 is set to arrive in cinemas on Friday, June 19, and has already generated strong buzz because of its franchise value, chartbuster music, youthful appeal and fresh casting. The advance booking of Cocktail 2 opened at the stroke of midnight on June 14, and it has now emerged that the film has been passed by the CBFC with an A certificate. Its runtime is said to be 150 minutes, which means it is 2 hours and 30 minutes long.
O’Romeo was also Shahid Kapoor’s last release, making this the first time in his career that he will have two consecutive adult-rated films. The first Cocktail, which was released in 2012, starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and debutante Diana Penty. Like Cocktail 2, it was directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. However, unlike the sequel, the first instalment had received a U/A certificate from the CBFC and had a runtime of 146 minutes, making it four minutes shorter than Cocktail 2.
