Rakesh Roshan irked 

Reacting to it, Hrithik Roshan's father, Rakesh Roshan who was quite irked about the decision asserted that it is a mockery of the situation that the world is combating. Calling the entire act 'childish' and 'immature', Roshan requested to ignore people who are not thinking straight.  Informing that there is no 'similarity' between the two films, he said, "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. 

Hrithik made his Bollywood debut with 2000 film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai where he featured alongside debutante Amisha Patel. The film opened to a great reception, becoming one of the major hits that year. It also received mostly positive reviews back in the day.
