Kriti Sanon, Shahid Kapoor & Rashmika Mandanna’s Cocktail 2 Gets June 2026 Release Date

Homi Adajania’s sequel promises a bold take on modern relationships with a fresh cast and high-glam drama

The much-awaited sequel Cocktail 2 is all set to arrive in theatres on June 19, 2026, bringing together an exciting new trio—Kriti Sanon, Shahid Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna. Directed by Homi Adajania, the film revisits the world of the 2012 hit Cocktail, but with a completely fresh narrative and characters.

Unlike the original, which starred Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, and Diana Penty, the sequel is not a direct continuation. Instead, it explores a new story rooted in contemporary relationships, emotional complexities, and the modern dating landscape, while maintaining the stylish and urban tone that made the first film so popular.

The film is expected to dive deeper into intense interpersonal dynamics, blending glamour with emotional conflict. Kriti Sanon has hinted that her role in the film is one of the boldest of her career, featuring a distinct and visually striking character that sets her apart from her previous performances.

Adding to the entertainment factor, Cocktail 2 is also said to feature vibrant music and a high-energy dance number involving the lead trio, aiming to recreate the musical appeal that contributed to the success of the original film.

Shot across picturesque international and Indian locations, including parts of Europe and Delhi-NCR, the film wrapped production earlier this year after beginning its shoot in 2025. The makers are also reportedly planning a theatrical-first promotional strategy, with teaser content designed to build buzz exclusively in cinemas.

With its mix of style, drama, and modern romance, Cocktail 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of 2026, promising a fresh yet familiar take on love and relationships for a new generation of audiences.
