‘O Romeo and Cocktail are 2 completely different films’
Regarding the gap between the release of ‘O Romeo’ and ‘Cocktail 2’, Mid Day quoted a source and wrote – ‘This gap was decided thoughtfully. O Romeo and ‘Cocktail 2’ are completely different films, and no one wanted them to come in each other’s way. The time of six months gives Shahid a chance to come with new energy and image. This is also true from a commercial point of view. The audience needs time to grow from one character and accept another. With its release in September, Cocktail 2 will get its own identity.

Regarding ‘Cocktail 2’, it is further written in the report – ‘The film is almost ready in terms of story. Right now, all the focus is on the songs, their sound mix, final arrangement and their coordination in the film. Music is very important in Cocktail 2 and the team wants to get it absolutely right.
