'Cocktail 2' Generates Pre-Release Buzz
As current releases compete, industry focus has shifted to 'Cocktail 2', set to hit cinemas on June 19. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, the romantic comedy-drama has been generating encouraging pre-release buzz. Advance bookings opened on June 14, and early ticket sales have been strong.
