'Shaadi mein mat aana': Kriti Kharbanda shares Coronavirus themed film poster

In an attempt to spread the message of Social distancing during the Coronavirus outbreak, Bollywood actor Kriti Kharbanda on Tuesday shared a morphed coronavirus-themed poster of her film 'Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana' and changed its title to 'Shaadi Mein Mat Aana.' The original poster of the film asks people to attend the wedding function, whereas, the new poster asks people not to attend the wedding.

Taking to her Instagram handle, Kharbanda shared the poster and captioned it with, "#21dayslockdown #shaadimainmataana #needofthehour."

The original poster of the film featured the lead duo of Kirti Kharbanda and Rajkummar Rao standing at a distance but holding hands. However, the edited poster shared by the leading lady featured them wearing face masks and one of them handing out hand sanitizer to the other one.

This comes a day after the central government imposed a 21-day-long nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and also advised people to either postpone their weddings or do it with minimal guests.
