However, as much as these rumors excited some, the broader reaction from netizens was lukewarm. Many viewers expressed fatigue with the ongoing trend of remakes and sequels, questioning the need for a follow-up to a film released over a decade ago.
Recent reports from Zoom suggest that these speculations are far from reality. A source close to the production has firmly debunked the claims.
“There is no Cocktail sequel with Shahid or Kartik. In fact, there is no Cocktail sequel at all. Producer Dinesh Vijan has no interest in revisiting a 12-year-old hit that feels dated today. It’s unclear how this rumor even started because Cocktail 2 is not a project under consideration,” the source revealed.
