MUMBAI: Warning: This meal may cause spontaneous dancing. McDonald’s India – North and East has teamed up with hindi movie energy powerhouse Ranveer Singh to launch ‘The Ranveer Singh Meal’, a limited-time offering that’s equal parts flavour bomb and fan service.

So, what’s on the Ranveer menu? Fans can choose between a McVeggie (Xplode) or McChicken (Xplode) amped up with a chilli-creamy ‘Xplode’ sauce and crispy golden onions, dialling up the drama on your everyday burger. It’s paired with the brand-new Golden Pop Fries, crispy potato pops that crunch and melt in a single bite, and the debut of Bobaaa Blast, a poppy boba pearl drink that’s part beverage, part party trick.
The meal starts at Rs 249 for the vegetarian option and Rs 269 for non-veg, and is available from 13th June for a limited period across all McDonald’s outlets in North and East India including via the McDonald’s App, takeaway, drive-thru, Swiggy, and Zomato.
