While the makers are yet to announce the film’s official release date, a report by Mid-Day stated that Cocktail 2 is likely to hit theatres in the third quarter of 2026.

According to the Mid-Day report, the decision to release Cocktail 2 around six months after Shahid Kapoor’s earlier film O’ Romeo was a strategic one. The gap is meant to give both films ample breathing space and allow audiences to experience Shahid Kapoor in a distinctly different avatar.

The original Cocktail revolved around a contemporary love triangle between Gautam Kapoor (Saif Ali Khan), Veronica Melaney (Deepika Padukone) and Meera Sahni (Diana Penty). The film delved into themes of romance, friendship and emotional loyalty, set against a youthful, urban backdrop.

Although details about the sequel remain tightly under wraps, Cocktail 2 has been described as a spiritual sequel. The film is being produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner, with the script written by Luv Ranjan and direction helmed by Homi Adajania.
