Terribly Tiny Tales announces Musafir Cafe series starring Vikrant Massey
MUMBAI: Terribly Tiny Tales is taking its storytelling from the page to the platform with Musafir Cafe, a new original romantic drama set to stream on Netflix. The series, announced by Collective Studios, is adapted from Divya Prakash Dubey’s bestselling novel and promises a tender mix of love, memory and second chances.
Vikrant Massey leads the cast, joined by Vedika Pinto and Mahima Makwana, with an ensemble of supporting actors rounding out the narrative. Massey also takes on a new role behind the scenes as co-producer, marking his debut in production.
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 story unfolds across layered timelines, tracing relationships that simmer, cool and sometimes reheat like a well-loved cup of coffee.
Collective Artists Network founder and group CEO Vijay Subramaniam, said the project reflects TTT’s belief in emotionally honest storytelling. He noted that stories once told in intimate formats are now finding a global stage with Musafir Cafe.
Terribly Tiny Tales CEO Anuj Gosalia, added that the novel has lived with readers for years and the Netflix adaptation expands that emotional universe while staying true to its intimacy. He said the partnership with Netflix and the backing of Collective Studios gives the story room to grow as a long-term IP.
Musafir Cafe is part of Collective Studios, the company’s newly launched unified content arm that brings together Ratpack Stories, Terribly Tiny Tales and Historyverse under one roof. The studio aims to build premium, scalable originals for both Indian and global audiences.
The series will stream exclusively on Netflix, with more details expected soon.

Prime Video unveils biggest India originals slate yet
Nearly 55 titles across languages signal deeper push into films, series
MUMBAI: Prime Video is turning up the volume on Indian storytelling, unveiling its largest-ever Originals slate at the ‘Prime Video Presents’ showcase, with close to 55 series and films spanning languages, genres and formats.
The new lineup, which stretches across Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, signals a clear intent: go bigger, go wider, and meet audiences wherever they are watching, whether on streaming screens or in cinemas. Alongside Originals, the platform also announced a fresh theatrical slate under Amazon MGM Studios, marking a deeper step into the big-screen business.
Among the headline acts is The Revolutionaries, a large-scale drama from Nikkhil Advani starring Bhuvan Bam and Rohit Saraf. The slate also features Matka King with Vijay Varma, Raakh starring Ali Fazal and Sonali Bendre, and Lukkhe, which marks rapper King’s acting debut. Adding a genre twist is Vansh – The Kalyug Warriors, positioned as India’s first homegrown Hindi superhero series for streaming.
Familiar favourites are also making a return, with new seasons of Farzi, Panchayat, Call Me Bae, Dupahiya, Dahaad and The Traitors in the pipeline, reinforcing the platform’s bet on established franchises.
Regional storytelling gets a notable push. Highlights include a Telugu adaptation of The Traitors hosted by Teja Sajja, the drama Guvvala Cheruvu Ghat, and Tamil titles such as Exam and returning seasons of Vadhandhi and Inspector Rishi.
The slate also opens new creative partnerships. Hrithik Roshan’s HRX Films steps into streaming with Storm and Mess, while Alia Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions backs Don’t Be Shy. Production houses including Excel Entertainment, Tiger Baby Films and The Viral Fever further deepen the creative bench.
On the theatrical front, the platform is lining up five films, including Raftaar starring Rajkummar Rao and Keerthy Suresh, VIBE directed by Kunal Kemmu, Dilkashi with music by A. R. Rahman, Nayyi Navelli featuring Yami Gautam, and Kuku Ki Kundli starring Wamiqa Gabbi.
According to Prime Video India director and head of Svod business Shilangi Mukherji, India remains central to the platform’s global growth, ranking among its top markets for new subscribers. She noted that nearly two-thirds of users watch content in more than four languages, underlining a growing appetite for diverse storytelling.
Prime Video India director and head of originals Nikhil Madhok, said the new slate reflects a continued push towards bold, culturally rooted narratives with global appeal.
In short, Prime Video is not just adding titles, it is widening the lens. From small-town dramas to superhero sagas and cinema-ready spectacles, the message is simple: more stories, more voices, and far more ways to watch them.
