Shahid Kapoor is all set to make 2026 extra special for his fans, with not one but two highly anticipated films hitting the big screen—each showcasing him in a completely different avatar.

While fans already know about ‘O’ Romeo’, a fresh update confirms that another Shahid Kapoor film will also be releasing this year, making it a double celebration at the box office.

‘O’ Romeo’ to Arrive First

According to industry buzz, ‘O’ Romeo’ is scheduled for a February theatrical release. This film will mark Shahid’s first big-screen appearance of the year and is expected to present him in a distinct and engaging role.

‘Cocktail 2’ Gets a September Release Window

Meanwhile, Homi Adajania’s directorial ‘Cocktail 2’—starring Shahid Kapoor alongside Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna—is now reportedly locked for a September release, as per a Mid-Day report. Earlier, the film was expected to arrive in the third quarter of 2026, and September seems to be the finalized target.

This creates a six-month gap between Shahid’s two releases, a move that appears to be both strategic and audience-friendly.

Why This Six-Month Gap Matters

A source close to the production revealed that the gap was carefully planned.
“O’ Romeo’ and ‘Cocktail 2’ are completely different films. The idea was to avoid any overlap in perception. The six-month gap allows audiences to fully absorb Shahid in one character before embracing him in a new avatar. From a business and creative standpoint, it’s the smartest move.”

With a September release, ‘Cocktail 2’ gets its own breathing space and avoids clashing with Shahid’s earlier film.
