MUMBAI: As the alarming rise in coronavirus cases is sending the world into a frenzy, some filmmakers from the Bollywood industry have quite unusual plans related to the disease. The makers are busy registering titles of the films relating to the highly-threatening disease. Sources from the industry say that Eros International has registered a title called 'Corona Pyaar Hai', probably a reprised edition of 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai', the Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel starer from 2000.
A report says that Krishika Lulla from 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."
Another source belonging to the Indian Film and Television Producer Council also notified that Eros International has indeed booked the said title for their film around last week.
