Cocktail 2 Shoot Postponed: Delhi Schedule Delayed Due to Pollution & Security Concerns
Production on Cocktail 2,the highly anticipated sequel to the 2012 hit,has temporarily paused its Delhi filming schedule.Concerns surrounding air pollution and recent security incidents prompted the decision, according to sources close to the production. This delay impacts plans for actors Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna.
Here’s a breakdown of the situation:
* Original plan: A seven-day shoot was slated to begin in Delhi on November 12th.
* Key Concerns: The deteriorating air quality in Delhi, coupled with heightened security following a recent blast, led to the postponement.
* Location Impact: Planned filming in Old Delhi contributed to the decision, given the increased complexities of shooting in a densely populated area during a sensitive time.
Though, don’t worry – the Delhi schedule hasn’t been cancelled entirely. Production teams are aiming to reschedule the shoot for December, pending improvements in both air quality and the security landscape. Final dates are expected to be confirmed by the end of November.
