Rakesh Roshan is irked that Corona Pyaar Hai is registered as film title: ‘Childish and immature to do such a thing’

Reacting to Eros Films reportedly getting the title ‘Corona Pyaar Hai’ registered as a film title, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai producer Rakesh Roshan says it is a ‘mockery of the situation’.

Even as the country fights widespread lockdown in the wake of coronavirus, several producers have lined up to get film titles related to Covid-19 registered. One of those titles registered is, Corona Pyaar Hai - a clear take on Hrithik Roshan’s Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.

Rakesh Roshan is angry that people are getting titles registered in the name of coronavirus.

Hrithik’s dad and producer of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Rakesh Roshan, is irked and told Mid Day in an interview, “It’s a mockery of the situation that the world is combating. It’s childish and immature to do such a thing at this time. We should ignore these people as they are not thinking straight.”

He further told the tabloid, “There is no similarity between the two films. Even with regard to the names, their title Corona Pyaar Hai has a different meaning to it. So, I cannot do anything about it.” The title was registered by Eros International with the Indian Film and Television Producers Council last week, the daily claimed.

Last year, Hrithik was seen in two films - War and Super 30 and both proved to be box office success stories.

Meanwhile, coronavirus lockdown has forced several films’ releases to be postponed and most of the shooting schedules for TV and films have also been cancelled.
