Coronavirus has gripped the world ever, more so after it was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation. According to a report, filmmakers in Bollywood have wasted no time in registering film titles related to the disease.

The report stated that Eros International has registered the title ‘Corona Pyaar Hai’, giving a twist to Hrithik Roshan’s 2000 hit and debut film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. Krishika Lulla of Eros International 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."

According to a source in Indian Film and Television Producer Council Eros International had registered Corona Pyaar Hai as their film last week. In addition to this, the report also stated that another film organisation, Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association, too, had confirmed that many filmmakers had registered film names with ‘corona’ in them. 

In the wake of the outbreak of coronavirus, Bollywood has indefinitely postponed films such as Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif’s Sooryavanshi and Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor's Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. Angrezi Medium, which released on Friday also registered low numbers at the box office despite boasting of a stellar cast including Irrfan Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Dimple Kapadia. Also, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt’s Brahmastra’s Mumbai shoot was cancelled, along with Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey.
