Shahid Kapoor On Cocktail 2: Shahid Kapoor has always stood out for his distinctive script choices. From winning hearts as the charming romantic hero in films like Ishq Vishk to taking on intense and layered characters in Kaminey, Haider and most recently O Romeo, the actor has constantly reinvented himself on screen.

Now, fans are gearing up to see a different side of Shahid once again with Cocktail 2. Ever since the film was announced, it has created significant anticipation, with one of the biggest talking points being Shahid's return to the lover boy space that audiences have loved him in over the years.

Speaking about the same to The Hollywood Reporter India, Shahid shared, "After very long I'm playing a character that's not alpha, hard, or grey and edgy. I'm playing an extremely likeable, warm and endearing character."

The statement has only added to the excitement around the film, with fans eager to watch the actor step away from intense and rugged roles to embrace a softer, more romantic avatar.

Over the years, Shahid has balanced commercial entertainers with unconventional and challenging parts, making every new project a point of curiosity for audiences. With Cocktail 2, it looks like the actor is set to revisit the charm and warmth that made him one of Bollywood's most loved romantic stars.

Cocktail 2 is all set to release in cinemas on June 19.
