Overview
- Audience and industry reaction in late June has singled out Kriti’s performance as Ally, with viewers saying they saw the character on screen rather than the actor.
- Kriti says the biggest compliment was when people told her they “didn’t see Kriti Sanon” and added that playing Ally required embodying a layered, glamorous persona with a different moral compass.
- She posted a heartfelt social note for director Homi Adajania and said she received personal congratulations from producer Sajid Nadiadwala and filmmaker Sabir Khan, who have tracked her growth since her debut.
- Cocktail 2 is directed by Homi Adajania, produced by Maddock Films and Luv Films, and stars Shahid Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti; the film is presented as a spiritual sequel and is drawing positive word-of-mouth for its performances and music.
- Kriti told reporters she has not signed new projects, is reading scripts and in talks on a few ideas, and plans to focus on quality choices as she builds on a 12-year career arc.
