The report also adds producer Mahaveer Jain’s name in the list of filmmakers registering for war titles. Jain put in an application for the title of Airforce Attack this week_._ Ronnie Screwvala Productions (RSVP), a part of Unilazer Ventures Private Ltd, had applied for the copyrights for ‘How’s the Josh?’ after the film’s one-line dialogue became a phenomenon of sorts. However, Abundantia Entertainment, headed by former Viacom head Vikram Malhotra, had also applied for the same dialogue. The publication quoted a source as saying RSVP was given the approval for the title. “It is a mad rush and one feels that filmmakers now want to capitalise on a tragedy like Pulwama to make their films,” the source added.
