Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is all set to release his next production, which stars him too, the movie ‘Cocktail’. Saif says that the film has everything overseas and Indian audience would love to see. The film connects to rural areas as well, Saif said. ‘Cocktail’ is a rom-com directed by Homi Adajania of ‘Being Cyrus’ fame and hits the screens July 13. It’s the third time that Saif and Deepika Padukone will be seen together in a film, after ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and ‘Aarakshan’. The film follows the three main characters, played by Saif, Deepika and newcomer Diana Penty. 24-year-old Veronica (Deepika) and Meera, 23, start living together during a summer in London, but they have very different agendas. Meera is awkward, introvert and recovering from a hoax marriage to Kunal Ahuja who has duped her off her life-savings by using the pretense of setting up a base for them in London. She is spending her time under Veronica's roof until she can get some footing and find a job in this foreign land. Veronica, on the other hand, is a wild-child, impulsive, constantly looking for distractions to escape facing issues of a troubled upbringing. Being poles apart brings the two closer, forging a loyal and solid friendship.

Soon Gautam, 32, (Saif) enters their lives, moves in with them and has a whirlwind relationship with Veronica much to Meera's protective disapproval. Meera does not like Gautam because of his don't-give-a-damn attitude, which reminds her of her selfish husband who had conned her into coming to London in the first place.
