  • 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.

Engaging Gen Z with Fun Contests

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.

Organised in collaboration with Naam Sujal, runner-up of Hustle Season 4, the event will feature ten finalists selected through online auditions. Winners will receive cash prizes of ₹50,000, ₹30,000, and ₹20,000, along with exclusive Wendy's merchandise and unlimited Wendy's meals during the competition.

The celebrations will continue on July 18 with an Anime Fans Meetup, inspired by the Teriyaki Burger range. For the event, the restaurant will be transformed into a Japanese-themed venue featuring anime-inspired décor, cosplay competitions, interactive fan activities, and exclusive Teriyaki merchandise, including T-shirts and bucket hats. The Wendy mascot will also make a special appearance, while cosplay winners will receive cash prizes of ₹50,000, ₹30,000, and ₹20,000.

Commenting on the launch, Mohit Mahajan, AVP Marketing, Rebel Foods, said:

"Delhi has always been a key market for Wendy's India, and Hudson Lane - with its vibrant student community and dynamic food culture - is the perfect home for our flagship restaurant. More than just a place to enjoy great food, this outlet has been designed as a space where music, fandom and global flavours come together. Through experiences like Buns & Bars and our Anime Fans Meetup, we are creating meaningful cultural moments that allow consumers to connect with Wendy's beyond the menu. As we continue to expand across India, our focus remains on building experiences that resonate with the country's next generation of consumers."

The Hudson Lane flagship reflects Wendy's India's focus on combining globally inspired flavours with locally relevant cultural experiences, strengthening the brand's presence among young consumers while creating a destination where food, entertainment, and community come together.
