A
number
of
Bollywood
filmmakers
have
reportedly
registered
movie
names
related
to
the
Coronavirus
Disease
(COVID-19).
According
to
a
report
carried
by
Times
of
India,
leading
film
studio,
Eros
International
has
registered
the
title
Corona
Pyaar Hai.
The
name
is
clearly
inspired
by
Hrithik
Roshan’s
2000
hit
Kaho
Naa...
Pyaar
Hai.
Producer
Krishika
Lulla
confirmed
the
aforementioned
title
registration
and
said,
“Currently
the
scripting
is
going
on.
The
subject
(of
the
epidemic)
is
going
to
be
set
in
a
love
story.
Currently,
we
are
fine
tuning
the
script
and
are
waiting
for
things
to
subside,
as
things
have
come
to
a
standstill
now.
Once
everything
is
normal,
we
will
start
the
project
in
full
swing.”
Sources
from
film
bodies
such
as
IFTPC
(Indian
Film
and
Television
Producer
Council)
and
IMPPA
(Indian
Motion
Picture
Producers'
Association)
have
confirmed
that
many
filmmakers
have
rushed
to
register
film
names
with
'corona’
in
them.
A
source
added,
“We
have
already
registered
one
called
Deadly
Corona.”
This
comes
as
no
surprise,
considering
the
fact
that
the
film
industry
has
always
looked
towards
real-life
episodes
for
'inspiration’.
In
the
recent
past,
the
abrogation
of
Article
370
had
created
a
similar
ripple
effect
when
a
slew
of
titles
such
as
Article
370,
Kashmir
Hamara
Hai
and
Article
370
Abolished
being
registered
at
various
film
associations.
For
the
uninitiated,
the
Hindi
film
industry
is
currently
reeling
in
the
effects
of
the
Coronavirus
outbreak.
A
number
of
film
events,
awards
shows,
and
international
shooting
schedules
have
been
canceled
and
upcoming
films
such
as
Akshay
Kumar’s
Sooryavanshi
and
YRF’s
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
have
postponed
their
release
indefinitely.
