Bipasha Basu recently reposted a reel on Instagram, sparking fresh debate around Cocktail 2. The post surprised many, as the film has no direct connection to her. Cocktail 2 is described as a spiritual remake of OG Cocktail.
The original film starred Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty. The upcoming version reportedly features Shahid Kapoor alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon. Reports suggest the story may centre on a relationship between Rashmika and Kriti.
According to the viral reel, Shahid Kapoor’s character is expected to play a secondary role. The post also claimed that he feels insecure about limited screen time compared to his co-stars. This claim quickly drew attention across social media platforms.
Fans shared screenshots of Bipasha Basu’s repost, leading to widespread discussions online. Some users alleged that such behaviour is not new. They referenced Padmaavat, claiming Shahid felt overshadowed by Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.
Several social media users believe a similar pattern could repeat with Cocktail 2. Some even speculated about possible PR strategies that could affect the film’s perception. These claims, however, remain unverified and continue to fuel online debates.
At the same time, others suggested that Bipasha Basu may have reposted the reel unintentionally. Despite this, the incident has intensified ongoing discussions about the film. Cocktail 2 continues to remain a trending topic among cinema audiences.
