Cocktail 2

The buzz around Cocktail 2 just got louder. Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna and Shahid Kapoor were spotted shooting in Sicily, and photos from the sets have already found their way online.

In the picture, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna are seen in casual clothes, while Shahid Kapoor, interestingly, is snapped in a bathrobe alongside director Homi Adajania. Safe to say, the internet had a field day.

The film, directed by Homi Adajania, is the official sequel to the 2012 hit romantic comedy Cocktail, which starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. Much like the original, the sequel is expected to explore modern-day relationships with Adajania’s signature storytelling style.

While the makers have kept story details under wraps, Cocktail 2 is set for a theatrical release in the second half of 2026. Fans have been eagerly waiting since last year, when Homi Adajania’s wife, Anaita Shroff Adajania, shared a sneak peek of the film’s script on Instagram Stories, sparking speculation about casting and plot.

Adding to the excitement, Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna and Shahid Kapoor have all been sharing behind-the-scenes snippets, fueling anticipation.
