While the official release date is yet to be confirmed, reports suggest that Cocktail 2 is being lined up for a September 2026 theatrical release. According to industry buzz, the makers have strategically planned the release to ensure a comfortable gap after Shahid Kapoor’s upcoming film O’ Romeo, which is slated to hit cinemas in February 2026.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, Cocktail 2 is described as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit Cocktail. The film is directed by Homi Adajania, who also helmed the original, with the script written by Luv Ranjan. While details about the storyline remain tightly guarded, expectations are high given the popularity of the first film, which explored a modern love triangle and became known for its fresh narrative, chart-topping music and youthful appeal.
With shooting now complete, fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements and a first glimpse of what promises to be an entertaining return to the Cocktail universe.
