The cameras have officially stopped rolling on Cocktail 2, bringing an end to the shoot of one of Bollywood’s most anticipated projects.

Homi Adajania took to social media to share a snapshot from the wrap-up moment, capturing the core team in a candid, celebratory mood. Accompanying the image was a playful note reflecting the camaraderie on set, as the filmmaker described the experience as especially close to his heart and thanked the cast and crew for embracing his creative chaos throughout the shoot.

The post quickly became a talking point online. Fans poured into the comments section with excitement, many urging the makers to reveal the release date and drop the first poster or teaser. Kriti Sanon responded warmly, leaving an affectionate comment for the director and later resharing the picture on her Instagram Stories, further amplifying the buzz.
While the makers have yet to make an official announcement, industry chatter suggests that Cocktail 2 is eyeing a September 2026 theatrical release. The timeline is said to be carefully planned, allowing adequate breathing space after Shahid Kapoor’s O’ Romeo, scheduled for release earlier that year.
Backed by Maddock Films and produced by Dinesh Vijan, the film is positioned as a spiritual successor to the 2012 hit Cocktail. Adajania returns to the director’s chair for the sequel, while the script is penned by Luv Ranjan. Although plot details remain under wraps, expectations are riding high given the original film’s reputation for its contemporary storytelling, memorable music, and take on modern relationships.
With filming now complete, anticipation around Cocktail 2 has officially shifted into the next phase. Fans are eagerly waiting for the first official glimpse—hoping the return to the Cocktail universe delivers the same charm, energy, and freshness that made the original a cult favourite.
