Licious presents ‘Sunday Special’ with the freshest mutton offerings
Mumbai: The country’s most loved meat and seafood brand – Licious – now strengthens its offering of an extensive range of mutton cuts, catering to the specific needs of discerning customers in Tamil Nadu. Now customers in Chennai can enjoy fresh & premium quality cuts such as shoulder curry cut, ribs, chops and more. Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any better, there are also the Mixed Packs for true mutton lovers, with a mix and match of pieces of your choice suited for an array of mutton recipes. Now your Sunday Special show can be marked with rich mutton curry, a lip-smacking roast, fried appetizers and more with these tender, meaty cuts. All this from the convenience of your home – delivered fresh to your doorstep through the Licious App or website. Now that’s what we call – Sunday Special show naale, Licious Mutton Thaan (Sunday Special Show means Licious Mutton only).
Licious VP – brand Santosh Hegde said, “At Licious it is our constant endeavour to get closer to our consumers and delve deeper into their preferences & concerns. As much as we understand all things meat, understanding our consumers is just as imperative for us. Mutton is one of our core product offerings and a true sensorial indulgence, especially in Chennai, where ‘Sunday Specials’ are marked by mutton preparations starting right from breakfast through lunch and dinner. The sign of a blockbuster Sunday is enjoying back to back blockbusters on TV, accompanied by back to back mutton delicacies in varied preparations. And the right mutton is at the core of it all – tender, fresh and customized per the recipe it is meant for. The meaty & succulent mutton pieces, marked by the perfect blend of meat and fat for that rich taste, and fresh, premium quality mutton – are all the right ingredients that go into the making of a Blockbuster Sunday!”
The brand’s dedication to offering premium quality mutton starts right from sourcing when it specifically selects young goats & lambs. The meat is rested for a minimum of 12 hours and evenly cut for an even cook & absorption of spices. Hygienically vacuum-packed and always stored in temperature-controlled environments between zero and four degrees Celsius, right up to your doorstep – these meaty delights from Licious are just what you need to cook up delicacies such as Mutton Kurma, Chukka, or kuzhambu. For a truly delightful meaty experience, the brand also offers a wide range of mutton parts (offals) as liver, heart, trotters and paya, that can be used right out of the pack to impart rich, intense flavors to lip-smacking preparations such as Liver Fry or Aatukaal Paya. The best part – these mutton parts/offals can be easily ordered through the Licious App all through the day, eliminating concerns of unavailability or limited stock. The brand recently launched these drool-inducing offerings with an equally interesting campaign film. The film depicts a regular Sunday in a Chennai household and how it turns into a blockbuster Sunday with the many mouth-watering mutton dishes being cooked at home. What makes the film more enjoyable is its music, which is a take on a popular, foot-tapping Ilaiyaraaja track from the 80s movie ‘Siva’.

Mana Projects names Ranbir Kapoor brand ambassador amid rebranding
Bengaluru developer unveils new identity focused on design and nature.
MUMBAI: When real estate meets reel star power, the foundation for a new brand story is often laid brick by brick. Mana Projects, the Bengaluru based real estate developer, has appointed actor Ranbir Kapoor as its brand ambassador while unveiling a refreshed brand identity aimed at aligning the company with the evolving expectations of modern urban homebuyers.
The announcement marks a new phase for the developer, which has spent over two decades building residential communities in Bengaluru, particularly along emerging growth corridors such as Sarjapur Road.
The updated brand identity reflects the company’s emphasis on design led living and environmentally conscious development. According to the developer, the new positioning focuses on creating residential spaces where architecture, nature, engineering and lifestyle planning work together to shape meaningful living experiences.
Mana Projects chairman and managing director D. Kishore Reddy said the rebranding represents a natural progression as the company adapts to the expectations of a new generation of homeowners.
“This rebranding represents the natural evolution of Mana Projects as we align ourselves with the aspirations of a new generation of homeowners, particularly millennials who form the backbone of Bengaluru’s dynamic homebuyer community,” Reddy said.
He added that today’s buyers increasingly look beyond basic housing to spaces that combine design, sustainability and a strong sense of community.
“At Mana, our philosophy centres on creating homes where space is purposeful, design is intelligent, nature is respected and engineering ensures long term sustainability. Our association with Ranbir Kapoor reflects this new chapter as we continue to build communities that enable people to truly live brilliantly,” he said.
Kapoor, who has been associated with several lifestyle and consumer brands, said the partnership resonated with his own understanding of what makes a home meaningful.
“A home is one of the most meaningful investments people make in their lives, and it should reflect comfort, warmth and a sense of belonging,” Kapoor said.
“What impressed me about Mana Projects is the brilliance of their thought, the way design, nature and functionality come together to enhance everyday living. I’m delighted to be associated with Mana Projects as they continue to create homes that inspire modern urban families to truly live brilliantly.”
The collaboration will be introduced through a large scale integrated campaign spanning digital platforms, outdoor media and experiential activations, making it one of the developer’s most prominent branding initiatives in recent years.
Founded in Bengaluru, Mana Projects has built a portfolio of residential developments that emphasise thoughtful architecture, amenity rich neighbourhoods and environmentally sensitive planning. The company’s projects often integrate open spaces, green landscapes and energy efficient engineering to support sustainable urban living.
With Bengaluru continuing to attract young professionals and technology workers, the developer believes the city’s housing market is increasingly being shaped by buyers seeking well planned communities that balance functionality with quality of life.
Looking ahead, Mana Projects plans to expand its presence across the city by developing future ready residential projects designed to accommodate emerging lifestyle trends such as hybrid work culture, community driven living and multigenerational households.
By combining a refreshed brand identity with a high profile ambassador, the company hopes to strengthen its position in Bengaluru’s competitive real estate market while appealing to a new generation of homeowners seeking homes that blend design, nature and modern living.
