Exclusive: Kriti Sanon On Her Role In Cocktail 2 And Being Compared To Deepika Padukone

In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare, Kriti Sanon opened up about her recent role as Ally in Cocktail 2. Stepping into a franchise known for its iconic characters, she shared her process of stepping into a role that balances edginess with a free-spirited nature.   When asked which character from the original Cocktail (2012) she would have chosen to play (Diana Penty’s character or Deepika Padukone’s), Kriti expressed a clear preference for the latter. She said, “Veronica, definitely. Veronica had a lot of depth and damage. There was a whole arc and many layers to her character.

He’s obviously not completely Ally, but I could draw some kind of Ally from him because he has a cool personality. He has lived and travelled a lot. His mindset is extremely liberated and free.

Why was Tunisia’s Hannibal Mejbri compared to David Beckham?

3 min readJun 12, 2026 05:42 PM IST The Manchester United dream didn’t quite come through the first time around for Hannibal Mejbri, given the despairing state the club was in during his 2020-2024 stay at their academy. But the Paris-born Tunisian wunderkid gathered enough testimonials to create a buzz around his game. Now signed with Burnley in EFL, Hannibal, the 23-year-old, will travel to his second World Cup with an enhanced reputation. Tunisia beat France 1-0 at the last World Cup – to no material consequence as they exited finishing third, with a match he didn’t play in. But Hannibal is all the rage this time. The half foot Afro from Man Utd U23 days is replaced by braids, but the words of Nicky Butt remain relevant. “Hannibal (Mejbri)’s a leader. The way he plays his football is 100mph, he’s non-stop running up and down,” Butt described to Manchester Evening News. “Leaders are always looked at like a Roy Keane, a Steve Bruce, a Bryan Robson, those kind of verbal, real aggression, real leaders,” …
