Love on the menu as Musafir Cafe brews a Netflix romance
MUMBAI: Love, like coffee, tastes different when revisited and Musafir Cafe is ready to serve it warm on Netflix. Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT), part of Collective Studios, has announced Musafir Cafe, a new original romantic drama series heading to the streaming platform. Adapted from Divya Prakash Dubey’s bestselling novel, the series explores love, memory and second chances through layered timelines and emotionally intimate relationships.
The show stars Vikrant Massey in the lead, alongside Vedika Pinto and Mahima Makwana, with an ensemble cast adding depth to its reflective, relationship-driven narrative. Massey also marks a new milestone with Musafir Cafe, stepping in as co-producer, his first outing in a producing role.
Created and written by Sharanya Rajgopal and directed by Ruchir Arun, the series is produced by Anuj Gosalia and Vijay Subramaniam under the Terribly Tiny Tales banner. The adaptation expands the novel’s emotional core into a long-form visual story while retaining its quiet honesty.
Announcing the series, Collective Artists Network founder and group CEO Vijay Subramaniam said the project reflects TTT’s evolution from intimate digital storytelling to globally scaled originals. What began as emotionally honest narratives, he noted, has now found a worldwide audience through Netflix.
Echoing that sentiment, Terribly Tiny Tales CEO Anuj Gosalia said Musafir Cafe has lived with readers for years and now gets a chance to grow its emotional universe on screen without losing the intimacy that defines the brand.
The series is backed by Collective Studios, the newly launched unified content studio consolidating Collective Artists Network’s original storytelling efforts across formats and platforms. Alongside Terribly Tiny Tales, the studio houses Ratpack Stories and Historyverse, with a clear focus on building premium, scalable IP for Indian and global audiences.
Musafir Cafe will stream exclusively on Netflix, with further details expected soon.

OpenAI hits back at Elon Musk’s lawsuit ahead of trial
Company calls claims “baseless” and accuses Musk of trying to disrupt a rival.
MUMBAI: When the stakes are measured in billions and egos are involved, even Silicon Valley titans can turn a courtroom into a battlefield. OpenAI has issued a sharp public response to Elon Musk’s ongoing lawsuit, accusing the billionaire of filing the case to harass a competitor rather than address genuine concerns. In a strongly worded statement shared on its official X account, OpenAI described Musk’s allegations as “baseless” and suggested the lawsuit is an attempt to disrupt the company as the case heads toward trial later this month in Oakland, California.
The response comes after Musk’s legal team recently amended the complaint, proposing that any damages potentially exceeding $150 billion should go to OpenAI’s nonprofit entity rather than to Musk personally. OpenAI questioned the timing and motive behind this change, calling it a late-stage attempt to “pretend to change his tune” on the nonprofit structure.
The company further labelled the lawsuit a “harassment campaign”, arguing that Musk’s actions are driven by personal rivalry, ego, and a desire for greater control and financial upside.
At the heart of the dispute is Musk’s claim that OpenAI has abandoned its original nonprofit mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. A co-founder who left in 2018, Musk is seeking governance changes, including the removal of CEO Sam Altman from the nonprofit board, and the return of certain financial gains linked to Altman and President Greg Brockman.
OpenAI has firmly rejected these allegations, maintaining that its current hybrid structure, a public-benefit corporation overseen by a nonprofit parent remains true to its long-term goals. The company has also previously accused Musk of anti-competitive behaviour aimed at weakening its leadership.
As the case prepares for a jury trial, this public exchange highlights the deepening rift between two of the most influential figures in the AI revolution and raises broader questions about governance, mission, and power in the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence.
In the high-stakes game of AI, it seems the real drama isn’t just inside the models, it’s playing out in courtrooms too.
