**Cocktail 2 Delhi Schedule Postponed Due to Poor Air Quality and Red Fort Blast Aftermath: Report**
The team of *Cocktail 2*, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, has reportedly postponed its Delhi shooting schedule. The decision comes in the wake of the city’s worsening air quality and heightened security following a recent blast near the Red Fort.
According to a report by the *Hindustan Times*, the cast and crew were scheduled to begin a seven-day shoot in Delhi starting November 12. However, the deteriorating Air Quality Index (AQI) and increased tensions after the incident prompted the makers to defer the plan.
A source told the publication, “Shahid along with Kriti and Rashmika were supposed to come to shoot in Delhi from November 12. The makers had planned a detailed schedule in Delhi for seven days starting from November 12. The air pollution crisis is one of the reasons. And then the heightened tension after the Delhi blast has also led to the decision. The team had also planned a schedule in the Old Delhi area, so there are multiple reasons that have added to the decision.”
The source further clarified that the Delhi shooting schedule has only been postponed, not cancelled. “The makers are now planning to do the shoot in December, if all goes well,” they added. The exact rescheduled dates are yet to be decided and are expected to be finalized by the end of this month.
*Cocktail 2*, directed by Homi Adajania, is the sequel to the 2012 hit *Cocktail*, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. The original film was a significant milestone in Deepika Padukone’s career, achieving both commercial success and critical acclaim.
As of now, the official release date of *Cocktail 2* has not been announced.
