Shahid Kapoor Returns to Romance: 'Cocktail 2' Role Revealed

Shahid Kapoor is venturing back into romantic comedies with "Cocktail 2," a film where he will portray a character named Kunal. This role signifies a departure from the intense, morally complex characters Kapoor has recently embodied.

Kapoor described his new role as "extremely likeable, warm and endearing," a stark contrast to his previous work. Fans eagerly await this portrayal, associating him with lighter entertainers.

The film is set to release worldwide on June 19, 2026. It is directed by Homi Adajania and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Luv Ranjan, among others, under Maddock Films and Luv Films.
