In a thrilling move, VRO Hospitality, India's dynamic F&B chain, is set to unveil four new PlanB outlets across Bengaluru, marking a significant stride in its expansion journey. This venture adds to the already vibrant culinary scene in the city, further enhancing its gastronomic offerings.
The four strategic locations for the new outlets—Domlur, Jayanagar, Yelahanka, and Electronic City—have been chosen with precision, ensuring accessibility and convenience for patrons. The Electronic City outlet stands out as the largest among the quartet, offering a spacious and inviting environment for diners.
With a keen eye for blending aesthetics and modernity, VRO Hospitality has teamed up with Lefthander, a distinguished graffiti artist from Kerala, to infuse the new outlets with contemporary graffiti art. This collaboration not only adds a fresh visual dimension but also resonates with the youthful spirit that defines PlanB.
Sharath Rice, COO & Co-Founder of VRO Hospitality, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, highlighting how PlanB has been enthralling its customers for the past 13 years with its delectable flavors and lively ambiance. Interestingly, this expansion aligns serendipitously with the 13th anniversary of PlanB, bringing the total outlets in Bengaluru to 13—an uncanny alignment of numbers.
PlanB, known for its eclectic menu spanning chicken wings, burgers, pizzas, and more, maintains an ambiance of relaxed comfort and regularly offers tempting deals. It has become a favored destination for food enthusiasts, catering to diverse tastes while upholding a youthful atmosphere.
This expansion coincides with VRO Hospitality's broader growth across India, with PlanB outlets now present not only in Bengaluru but also in Kochi, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.
To commemorate this milestone, PlanB is treating its patrons to an array of 13 new flavors of grilled chicken wings, available for a limited time until August 15th. These flavors have been thoughtfully crafted to tantalize adventurous taste buds, bringing a mix of smoky, spicy, and zesty notes to each bite. From the zingy Citrus Peri Peri to the aromatic Basil Pesto & Chilli, there's an option for every palate.
Priced affordably, the wings are available in various portions—half a dozen, a dozen, grilled wings, and veggie wings. This culinary delight is poised to be a hit across all four cities where PlanB has set its culinary footprint.
With the inclusion of these four new outlets, PlanB's presence in India has expanded into a network of 16 outlets. As VRO Hospitality continues to redefine the culinary landscape, PlanB promises not just a meal, but an experience that resonates with flavor, innovation, and youthful exuberance.

Burger King India, one of the country’s leading Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chains, has announced an exciting partnership with the much-anticipated Gen Z romantic comedy Loveyapa. Starring Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan—the latter making his theatrical debut—the film is set to hit screens on February 7. Loveyapa explores the intricacies of modern relationships and humorously delves into the disillusionment of the “perfect” romance.
As part of this collaboration, Burger King is launching the “Loveyapa Combo,” a specially curated meal designed to celebrate this unique partnership. The combo includes:
Whopper Jr. with Cheese
Saucy Fries
Chocolate Thickshake
Available across all Burger King outlets nationwide starting January 15, this limited-time offering is perfect for sharing with a loved one or enjoying solo while immersing in the spirit of Loveyapa.
In addition to the new combo, Burger King is hosting an exclusive social media contest to engage fans and movie enthusiasts. The user-generated content (UGC) contest invites participants to create humorous memes using screenshots from the Loveyapa trailer. Winners stand a chance to win exciting prizes, building anticipation for the film’s release.
Kapil Grover, Chief Marketing & Digital Officer of Burger King India, shared his thoughts on the collaboration:
“Burger King has always been about having meaningful connections with our Gen Z guests. Loveyapa’s script and cast perfectly align with our brand’s ethos. We’re thrilled to celebrate the movie’s release with the exclusive ‘Loveyapa Combo,’ which mirrors the film’s flavor with the taste of Burger King. With Junaid Khan’s debut and Khushi Kapoor’s charm, this movie promises to resonate with the youth of India.”
Srishti Behl, CEO of Phantom Studios, echoed similar sentiments:
“We are excited to partner with Burger King India for Loveyapa. The movie, with its fresh take on love and relationships, aligns perfectly with the dynamic and youthful energy of the brand. The ‘Loveyapa Combo’ captures the playful essence of the film that resonates with today’s Gen Z. It’s exciting to see this partnership come to life, reaching young audiences through a brand that truly speaks to them.”
The trailer launch event for Loveyapa featured a glamorous red-carpet celebration attended by the film’s cast. Junaid Khan, son of Bollywood icon Aamir Khan, made a striking debut, while Khushi Kapoor captivated audiences with her on-screen charm. Guests at the event also enjoyed the “Loveyapa Combo,” adding a flavorful touch to the celebrations.
