Bollywood stars Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon are set to reunite for the sequel of the 2012 hit film Cocktail, directed once again by Homi Adajania. According to a report from Pinkvilla, the sequel will continue the romantic comedy theme, with Shahid and Kriti stepping into their familiar roles after their chemistry in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.
Cocktail 2 will be produced by Dinesh Vijan, with a storyline penned by Luv Ranjan, who was also reportedly involved in the original film. Much like its predecessor, the sequel will center around a love triangle, and the casting process is still ongoing to finalize the third lead. Some reports suggest that actress Rashmika Mandanna’s name has also been linked to the project.
A source close to the production revealed that both Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon were thrilled with the script and are eager to dive into the world of this new romantic comedy. “The duo loved the script and are excited to venture into the world of this romantic comedy,” the source shared.
The original Cocktail was a major turning point in Deepika Padukone’s career, with its success further establishing her in the industry. The sequel is expected to maintain the same charm, and fans can look forward to more romantic drama.
Shahid Kapoor, who was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, is currently working on Deva with Pooja Hegde. He is also reportedly set for films with director Vishal Bharadwaj. Kriti Sanon, after her roles in Crew and Do Patti, has yet to announce her next projects, though she recently hinted at a potential collaboration with her sister Nupur Sanon.
Cocktail 2 is expected to go on floors in May 2025.
