Kriti Sanon Went on Strict Calorie-Deficit Diet for ‘Cocktail 2’, Calls It Her ‘Hottest Look Yet’
Mumbai— Actress Kriti Sanon has revealed that she underwent a strict calorie-deficit diet and disciplined workout regime to prepare for her role in the upcoming romantic drama Cocktail 2.
Recalling her preparation, Kriti said this was one of the most disciplined phases of her career. “Honestly, during Cocktail 2, it was the only time I was on a very strict diet and a consistent workout routine. For the first time, I followed a calorie-deficit diet, which had never happened in my life,” she said. The actress added that shooting in Italy’s Sicily made the process even more challenging, joking about being surrounded by “pizza, pasta, pizza… and all of that.”
Kriti also described the role as a striking departure from her recent emotionally intense work. She said she chose the project after the draining experience of Tere Ishk Mein, adding that she wanted something “light and fun.”
Calling the character one of her boldest transformations yet, she said, “I’m looking very different from anything I’ve done before. It’s probably the hottest character I’ve played so far.”
Directed by Homi Adajania, Cocktail 2 also stars Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. The film explores modern relationships, love, friendship, and heartbreak against a contemporary emotional backdrop.
Produced as a sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail, the film is set for a theatrical release on June 19, 2026. (Source: IANS)
