Ishaan Khatter joins Shahid Kapoor, Mira Rajput for 'Cocktail 2' in Delhi
New Delhi, June 22
Actor Ishaan Khatter recently enjoyed a memorable outing in the national capital, immersing himself in Delhi's vibrant culture and local flavours.
The actor explored the city's popular spots before joining his brother, Shahid Kapoor, and sister-in-law, Mira Rajput, for a special screening of Shahid's latest film, 'Cocktail 2'.
"With family for Cocktail 2 at the OG Priya cinema (Dilli). Go watch it in cinemas, folks; it's the summer rom com you've been waiting for," Ishaan wrote in the caption.
Following up, Ishaan went on to add pictures from the Delhi tour, showing the actor visiting Chandni Chowk, Khan Market, and other places. He also had a heartwarming interaction with young fans, where one of them also brought along a special sketch of the actor's upcoming film 'Jugaadu'.
Ishaan also offered a glimpse of his well-maintained physique.
"I got my wings from putting in the work, no red bull," he concluded in the post.
On the work front for Ishaan Khatter, the actor will be next seen in the fun-filled comic caper titled 'Jugaadu'.
Taking to his Instagram, Ishaan shared his first look from the film and wrote, "Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for #JUGAADU - My first in and as! Cooking with an incredible and passionate team to bring you this riot of an entertainer in cinemas soon."
'Jugaadu' also marks a significant crossover moment, as popular Punjabi actress Tania makes her Hindi film debut with the project.
The mahurat ceremony was held on April 30, 2026, in Mumbai, setting the tone for a spirited production, with the first schedule slated to begin in Punjab later this month, as per a press release.
The film boasts a robust ensemble including Abhishek Banerjee, Jameel Khan, Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Yamini Dass, Sukhwinder Chahal, and veteran Nirmal Rishi.
On the other hand, Shahid Kapoor's 'Cocktail 2' has made a strong start at the box office, crossing the Rs 50 crore mark in its opening weekend despite receiving mixed reactions from fans of the OG film.
As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has become one of the few Hindi releases of 2026 to cross the Rs 50 crore mark during its opening weekend. Sharing the box office figures on social media, he wrote, "#Cocktail2 hits a HALF-CENTURY in its opening weekend... The film performed best on Saturday and Sunday, with urban centres contributing handsomely to its business, while the youth audience has embraced it wholeheartedly."
Directed by Homi Adajania, the film is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 hit 'Cocktail'.
The story follows Kunal (Shahid Kapoor) and Diya (Rashmika Mandanna), a young couple deeply in love but unsure about marriage. Their vacation in Sicily takes an unexpected turn when they meet Diya's friend Ally, played by Kriti Sanon.
What begins as a carefree trip soon turns into an emotional test of trust, love, and commitment.

Ishaan and Shahid bonding over 'Cocktail 2' screening? That's sibling goals! 😍 But I'm more excited to see Ishaan's 'Jugaadu' - his first solo lead. And Tania making her Hindi debut is interesting, but let's see if she can match the energy of Abhishek Banerjee and Jameel Khan - those guys are comedy gold. Fingers crossed it's not another 'desi' film with the same old formula.
'Cocktail 2' making Rs 50 crore despite mixed reactions just shows how powerful Shahid's star power is. But honestly, original 'Cocktail' had a certain vibe - the Goa setting, the chemistry between Deepika and Saif. This spiritual sequel feels like they're milking nostalgia. Homi Adajania should have stuck with something fresh. That said, Rashmika and Kriti are good, but I'll still watch it for Shahid's acting.
Ishaan's 'wings' from hard work - that's a good message for all the youngsters out there! No shortcuts, yaar! But I wish Bollywood would move beyond these 'summer rom-coms' and 'comic capers'. Give us some meaningful stories about real India. 'Jugaadu' title sounds promising but let's see if it's just another 'jugaad' film. At least Ishaan looks dedicated. 😊
I'm actually happy about 'Cocktail 2' success because it shows that family entertainers still have an audience. Our multiplex crowds need these light-hearted films after all the serious content. And Ishaan exploring Delhi with fans? That's genuine star behaviour. But I'm waiting for 'Jugaadu' - hope it has the same energy as 'Stree' or 'Bhediya'. Need more Punjabi actors in Bollywood! Chalo, let's see.
