Cocktail 2 Postpones Delhi Shoot Over Security Concerns and Toxic Air

Safety concerns from toxic air following a lethal Red Fort blast forced a pause to the seven-day Delhi leg set for November 12.

Overview

  • Producers delayed the capital schedule featuring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna that was planned across Old Delhi, the university belt, South Delhi, and Central Delhi.
  • Reports cite the city’s Air Quality Index in the severe range, with readings around 425 on Tuesday, as a key factor affecting health and filming conditions.
  • Heightened security followed a car blast near the Red Fort metro station that officials say killed at least 13 people and injured 21.
  • The Delhi leg is postponed rather than cancelled, with a possible attempt to resume in December and final dates to be reviewed at the end of the month.
  • Homi Adajania’s sequel has already completed overseas work, including a European/Italy schedule, and industry peers also deferred events, such as the Dhurandhar trailer launch.
