The theatre experience for Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is being designed to feel like an event, and not just because of Ranveer Singh returning to headline Aditya Dhar’s high-octane sequel. As of March 6, 2026, Jio Studios is also lining up a major big-screen add-on that will give audiences a first proper taste of two of its other headline titles for the year.
With anticipation running high around Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, the studio is going all-in on leveraging the film’s footfall to build momentum for the rest of its slate.
The Latest Update
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that the teasers of Raja Shivaji and Cocktail 2 are being attached to the theatrical prints of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. The move effectively turns screenings of the Ranveer Singh starrer into a dual teaser launchpad for two very different films, a period epic and a contemporary romance, that sit among Jio Studios’ most talked-about productions of 2026.
The strategy also mirrors the increasingly event-driven approach to theatrical marketing, where a big title’s opening window becomes premium real estate for showcasing what is next, especially when the films share a similar scale of ambition.
Raja Shivaji And Cocktail 2, What We Know So Far
Raja Shivaji is positioned as one of the biggest projects mounted in Marathi cinema, with Riteish Deshmukh playing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and also directing the film. The period drama has an ensemble that includes Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Vidya Balan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, and Genelia Deshmukh. The film is produced simultaneously in Marathi and Hindi, with dubbed versions planned in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, and it is scheduled to release in theatres on May 1, 2026.
Cocktail 2 brings director Homi Adajania back to the romantic-drama space, this time with Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead. The makers have not announced a release date yet, but the film is targeting a 2026 theatrical release.
Ranveer Singh’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Ranveer Singh’s most recent theatrical release was Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), directed by Karan Johar, where he starred opposite Alia Bhatt. Prior to that, he headlined Cirkus (2022) and appeared in Jayeshbhai Jordaar (2022). On the upcoming front, Singh is set to return to theatres with Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar.
