Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna's Cocktail 2 received a mixed response at the box office after it released recently. While the Homi Adajania-directed film has been extensively shot in Italy, the team also shot some portions in Delhi-NCR. Now,  line producer Sumit Tyagi has made revelations about the Delhi shoot, recalling how the cast and crew had to work amid the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) soaring beyond 500. He also recalled how Shahid Kapoor once refused to step outside because of the alarming air quality.

While speaking on The Shivam Podcast, Sumit Tyagi described Shahid Kapoor as “manmauji" (temperamental). He added that the production team was informed that Shahid Kapoor was not willing to shoot in Delhi amid such severe pollution. Thus, the production had to arrange five to six air purifiers for the actor, despite the schedule being entirely outdoors. Tyagi recalled that he even questioned how indoor air purifiers would be useful for an outdoor shoot, which was taking place at Cyber City in Gurugram, but was informed that “this is just for satisfaction."
