Smog in Delhi Forces ‘Cocktail 2’ Crew to Take Strict Safety Measures on Set

The film industry is also being affected by Delhi's severe pollution. Actor Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna's upcoming film Cocktail 2 is scheduled to be shot in Delhi-NCR. However, due to pollution, the makers have made major changes to the shooting schedule and implemented strict security measures to keep the air clean.

The team of Cocktail 2, which recently returned home from filming in Europe, is now taking precautions before beginning its upcoming shoot. The film's next schedule will be shot in parts of Delhi. Currently, Delhi's air pollution levels are high, forcing the team to exercise caution before commencing filming there.

This is the second installment in the Cocktail franchise, released in 2012. The original film starred Saif Ali Khan alongside actresses Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. Cocktail 2 stars Shahid Kapoor alongside Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna.

According to reports, the film team originally planned to shoot in Delhi for approximately a month. However, the team has now reduced this timeframe. The team will now shoot in and around South Delhi from November 11th to November 20th. The production team is making numerous safety arrangements for the actors, including air purifiers in vanity vans and mandatory masking.

The shooting of Cocktail 2 is almost half complete. After the Delhi shoot, post-production will begin. It is believed that the movie may be released theatrically next year. It is worth noting that Rashmika Mandanna is working with Shahid Kapoor for the first time, while Kriti Sanon has previously done so in the film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Ullah Jiya.
