Cocktail 2: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Rashmika Mandanna Co-Starrer To Release In September? Here’s What We Know

Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, is nearing completion. The focus now is on finalizing the music as the film prepares for a September release, maintaining a six-month gap after Shahid’s previous film, O’ Romeo. With two films and one hero, the release plan is clearly set. Homi Adajania is aiming for a September release for Cocktail 2, a schedule that ensures sufficient time after Shahid Kapoor’s earlier outing, which hits theaters in February.

Shahid, Kriti And Rashmika’s Cocktail 2 To Release In September

According to Mid-Day, “The gap was very consciously planned. O’ Romeo and Cocktail 2 are very different films, and no one wanted them to overlap. Six months allows Shahid to bring a fresh energy and image. From a trade perspective, it makes sense. Audiences need time to move on from one character before embracing the next. September gives Cocktail 2 its own identity.”

The film, featuring Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, is in its final stages. Sources close to the project tell the portal that the editing is largely complete. The team is now focusing on perfecting the soundtrack. “The narrative is more or less locked,” says an insider. “Right now, the main focus is on the songs — finalizing their sound, arrangements, and how they integrate into the film. Music is central to Cocktail 2, and the team wants to get it just right.”

About Cocktail 2

Cocktail 2 is the spiritual successor to the 2012 hit Cocktail. It starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Diana Penty. The upcoming film marks Shahid and Kriti’s reunion after Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya. And it will be Rashmika’s first collaboration with both actors. The film’s release date is yet to be announced, but makers are aiming for a late 2026 release.
