Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the modifications that were made to the film, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna.<\/p>\n<p>In a positive turn of events, the CBFC did not require any visual cuts, meaning all romantic and intimate scenes remain in the film. However, a few changes were requested regarding audio. One foul word present in the subtitles has been removed, and the term &#8216;Agni&#8217; was replaced with &#8216;Diya&#8217; throughout the film.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a reference to &#8220;Jew on the run&#8221; was censored, though the CBFC did not clarify the context in which this phrase was used. As a result, it&#8217;s unclear if it was meant to refer to a specific person or project, or if it was simply used as a general expression.<\/p>\n<p>After these adjustments, <em>Cocktail 2<\/em> was officially approved with an &#8216;A&#8217; rating on June 16. The film has a runtime of 149 minutes and 19 seconds, which translates to just over 2 hours and 29 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The original <em>Cocktail<\/em>, released in 2012, featured Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and newcomer Diana Penty. Directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Dinesh Vijan&#8217;s Maddock Films, it was well-received. The sequel is written by Tarun Jain and Luv Ranjan, with both Maddock and Luv Films involved in production.<\/p>\n<p>Scheduled for release on June 19, <em>Cocktail 2<\/em> will be the first adult-rated film in Kriti Sanon&#8217;s career spanning 12 years. For Rashmika Mandanna, this marks her second &#8216;A&#8217;-rated Hindi film following the recent success of <em>Animal<\/em> (2023). Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor will be featured in his fifth adult-rated film, with his previous adult roles in <em>Kaminey<\/em> (2009), <em>Udta Punjab<\/em> (2016), <em>Kabir Singh<\/em> (2019), and <em>O&#8217;Romeo<\/em> (2026). Interestingly, <em>O&#8217;Romeo<\/em> was his last release, making it the first time he has two consecutive adult-rated films.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for more updates on the film&#8217;s box office performance and other news!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cocktail 2 Receives CBFC Approval with Minor Changes On June 14, it was reported that the highly anticipated film Cocktail 2 has secured an &#8216;A&#8217; certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
