Something similar happened with "Cocktail"! Bollywood made a big mistake by creating a sequel to the 2012 romantic comedy; while the premise of the story remained the same, the cast changed. Titled "Cocktail 2," the film is written by Luv Ranjan, co-produced by Dinesh Vijan, and directed by Homi Adajania. Released in theaters on June 19, 2026, the movie features an entertaining trio: Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna.
