More than a decade after Cocktail stirred up hearts and box office numbers, the beloved film is finally getting a sequel. While official details remain under wraps, excitement hit a high note when Anaita Shroff Adajania—stylist and wife of director Homi Adajania—posted a sneak peek of the Cocktail 2 script on her Instagram story. Her caption, “Let the prep begin,” was subtle yet clear enough to send fans into a frenzy. With cameras expected to roll soon, the film promises to bring a fresh chapter to the modern romantic drama that became a cultural moment in 2012.
Rumors are swirling that Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna are being considered to lead the new film. While there’s no confirmation from the makers yet, the potential casting has only added to the intrigue. If finalized, the trio could bring a new dynamic to the story while keeping the spirit of the original intact. Homi Adajania, known for his distinct style of storytelling, is expected to return to the director’s chair, and fans are hoping for a narrative that matches the emotional depth and breezy charm of the original.
Kriti Sanon, fresh from wrapping Tere Ishk Mein—a spiritual successor to Raanjhanaa—might find herself stepping into a very different world with Cocktail 2. Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna is balancing an action-packed slate, including the recently announced thriller Mysaa and the highly anticipated Animal Park opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Shahid Kapoor, last seen in Deva, continues to be one of the most versatile actors of his generation, and his rumored involvement adds serious weight to the project.
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear—Cocktail 2 isn't just a sequel; it’s a nostalgic comeback with a fresh twist. Whether it captures the same magic or takes a bold new route, fans are eager to see how the modern love triangle evolves in today’s world. Until then, the prep is on, and the buzz is only just beginning.
