Naga Vamsi confirms Trivikram's next films; Jr NTR and Venkatesh to lead
Picture Credit: X Filmmaker Naga Vamsi has officially put to rest the rumours regarding the ace director Trivikram Srinivas 's upcoming projects. On social media, he confirmed that the celebrated director has locked his next two films with Jr NTR and Venkatesh. On X (formerly Twitter), the 'Guntur Kaaram' director wrote, " Trivikram garu's next 2 projects are locked with @VenkyMama sir and @tarak9999 anna. Everything else is mere speculation. Any confirmed project of Trivikram garu will be announced by me in this space." Mythological film with Jr NTR confirmed The post comes with a lot of speculation about Trivikram's next movies, with unverified reports suggesting collaborations with other leading stars in the Telugu film industry. However, this clear announcement from the producer himself has brought clarity to fans. Just a day prior to this announcement, Naga Vamsi had sparked speculation by posting Sanskrit slokas referencing Lord Karthikeya—widely seen as a strong hint at a mythological film featuring Jr NTR in the lead. The cryptic post lead to buzz online, with fans interpreting it as a teaser for a massive collaboration between Jr NTR and Trivikram. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo His post in Sanskrit loosely translates to English as, "He is Kartikeya, the great commander, born of the divine spark, the six-faced one, son of Parvati, known as Skanda, the commander of the celestial army, and the bearer of the Raghu lineage's honor." If the project is around Lord Karthikeya, it would mark Trivikram's first venture into mythological storytelling and his second film with Jr NTR after their 2018 action hit 'Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava'. Collaboration with Venkatesh also on the cards Apart from Jr NTR, Trivikram is also set to team up with veteran actor Venkatesh for another project. While details about this film remain under wraps.

New menus in Mumbai you should try this weekend
In Mumbai, the one constant on the dining scene is that nothing stays the same for too long. From neighbourhood favourites to new openings, Mumbai's F&B space thrives on reinvention. Menus are rewritten, old classics get new life, and familiar addresses quietly slip in seasonal surprises. Which is precisely why even your favourite spots deserve a revisit every now and then. This weekend, if you are looking for a reason to dine out, these new menus — from playful reinterpretations to thoughtful ingredient-led dishes — might just tempt you back to your old haunts, but with plenty that is new. La Loca Maria's summer taqueria menu Chef Manuel Olveira's new Taqueria menu at La Loca Maria is a vibrant, flavour-packed summer special. What began as a hit limited-run in 2019 — inspired by co-owner (and Chef Manuel's wife) Mickee Tuljapurkar's taco memory in Amsterdam — now returns, blending Spanish-Mexican flavours with playful finesse. Expect silky guac and chips with purple corn crisps, coastal-fresh Aguachile, and crisp tostones topped with everything from pumpkin to sashimi-grade tuna. Tacos take centre stage: think tempura avocado and sweet potato with chipotle and goat cheese, flame-grilled tacos piratas with tenderloin, and slow-braised lamb tacos in adobo. The tetelas — griddled masa pockets — offer confit duck or king oyster mushroom fillings, while pistachio-stuffed churros end the meal on a sweet note. Wash it all down with mango margaritas, smoky mezcal palomas, or refreshing aguas frescas. The Taqueria runs through June 2025. Fatima Villa, 29th Road, Pali Hill, Bandra West, Mumbai - 400050; for reservations, call 9324404335 Lovefools launches 'Lunchish' Lovefools, a Bandra favourite, introduces a new menu, Lunchish, which exists somewhere between breakfast, brunch and lunch, but refuses to be boxed in. As Chef Sarita Pereira explains, 'We wanted to create something that tastes just as satisfying at 11 am as it does at 4 pm.' They are closed on Mondays. The globally inspired menu reads like a culinary travelogue. The Jay Fai Bucket List transforms Bangkok's crab omelette with Kerala moilee curry. Sawadee Mango Toast pairs mango with Thai chilli-lime papaya salad. The Mexican Khichu reinvents Gujarat's comfort dish with jalapeños, raw mango salsa and paprika cornflakes. Panji to Pattaya fuses Goan prawns with Thai noodles and coconut milk, while the Katsu 'Curry' Benedict layers katsu chicken, poached egg and Japanese curry hollandaise on toasted brioche. C14, 525, Ranwar, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400050; for reservations, call 9820203360 Gigi's new menu blends European finesse and Japanese subtlety Celebrity favourite, Gigi has a new ingredient-led menu by Chef Beena, where European techniques meet nuanced Japanese flavours. From the light, bright seabass pomelo ceviche to the punchy yuzu kosho prawns, each dish reflects Gigi's quiet sophistication. Seasonality shines through in the tortellini de automne, while the miso glazed celeriac fondant and Portobello steak spotlight vegetable-forward, slow-cooked depth. The shimo no kare offers a soulful reinterpretation of Japanese curry, and the miso truffle udon delivers rich, umami depth. Dessert arrives in the form of the noir caramel — a balanced bittersweet finale. 14th Rd, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400050; for reservations, call 8976943116 With love, from Hanoi, at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu From June 13th to 22nd, JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu, in collaboration with JW Marriott Hanoi, presents With Love From Hanoi — a Vietnamese food festival at Lotus Café.

Expect fragrant pho, crisp banh xeo, fresh spring rolls and flame-grilled meats, alongside Vietnamese crab cake, papaya salad with herbs, braised banana with tofu, fried tiger prawns with salted egg, and steamed grouper with soy. An interactive chicken pho station rounds out the experience. The beverage programme, in partnership with Suntory Toki, offers inventive cocktails such as the Toki Highball, Wasabi Sour, and Matcha Haiboru — blending Vietnamese ingredients with whisky's smoky, smooth notes.
