Celebrated Italian Chef Nino Di Costanzo, known for his visionary two-Michelin-starred restaurant Danì Maison in Ischia, is set to return to Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru. From February 13 to 19, 2025, Chef Nino will bring his unique gastronomic artistry to the iconic Blu Beach Club, situated in the heart of the Baa Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

The result is an exquisite cross-cultural dining experience, which, as Chef Nino explains, is “a meeting of diverse culinary traditions grounded in soil, sea, and surroundings.”
During his week-long residency, Chef Nino will personally curate and showcase a menu that embodies his distinctive style. Following this, Blu Beach Club will offer an exclusive year-round dining experience with a specially designed menu, available to just two tables of four guests each evening.
The collaboration extends beyond the plate, with members of Blu’s culinary team training at Danì Maison, ensuring the seamless infusion of Chef Nino’s expertise into the resort's gastronomic offerings.
For Chef Nino, every dish is more than just food—it is an experience, meticulously crafted to evoke emotion and amazement. His creative process begins months in advance, with every detail, from the choice of ingredients to the design of custom-made plates, carefully considered. His Venetian glass and Italian ceramic plates add a visual storytelling element that enhances the dining experience.

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.
