- Producers, led by Dinesh Vijan, publicly denied social-media claims that the film features a lesbian relationship, saying the trailer shows two separate love stories rather than a romance between the two female leads.

- Promotional activity has ramped up after the launch, with cast interviews and fashion moments fueling buzz ahead of the film’s scheduled theatrical release on June 19, 2026.
- Cocktail 2 is billed as a spiritual follow-up to the 2012 film rather than a direct sequel, and industry coverage notes the project’s reliance on star casting, music, and nostalgia to attract audiences.
