Cocktail 2’s Controversial A-Rating
Homi Adajania’s Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor , Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon, was released in theatres this Friday. The film, which is a spiritual sequel to his 2012 hit Cocktail, was certified A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Shahid questioned why the film was given that rating when nothing in it warranted it.
Cast Addresses Lesbian Storyline Rumors
The team shut down these rumours before release. “There is no lesbian story,” clarified Kriti, while Rashmika chimed in, “I know, we do have that chemistry.” Kriti also added, “We are three straight people, guys. It’s only an emotional threesome, not physical.”
Director Homi Adajania’s Take on Chemistry
Homi had also previously addressed these rumours at the film’s trailer launch, saying, “They ( Kriti and Rashmika) definitely get a little cuddly with each other because they are friends. And we just hypothetically thought what if the story was about them and Shahid was the third wheel? And I said I wouldn’t mind making a movie like that.”
Despite the CBFC’s A-rating, the cast firmly denied any physical ‘lesbian story,’ emphasizing an ’emotional threesome.’ Shahid Kapoor’s challenge to the certification highlights ongoing debates about film censorship, leaving audiences to ponder the true reasons behind the rating.
