Trivia
- The film's title 'Cocktail' refers to a Cockatiel bird, which is central to the plot, not a mixed drink.
- Director RA Vijaya Murugan is known for rural comedies, and this was his first film centered on urban theft and chaos.
- Actor Sathish, who plays a key role, is primarily a comedian and this film marked a rare lead role for him in a heist plot.
- The movie was shot extensively in Chennai, including crowded areas, to emphasize the chaotic chase for the statue.
- It underperformed at the box office, failing to gain traction despite its ensemble cast and comedy genre.
- The plot involves a Murugan statue, drawing loosely on real-life temple art thefts in Tamil Nadu as inspiration.
- Behind the scenes, live Cockatiel birds were used in filming, requiring careful handling by the animal trainers on set.
