The release of Ishq Vishk Rebound directed by Nipun Dharmadhikari and starring Rohit Saraf, Jibraan Khan, Pashmina Roshan and Naila Grrewal is round the corner. The rom-com-drama takes the franchise of Ishq Vishk starring Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao, forward. Few of the film's songs have released and they are receiving a good response.

In an exclusive byte shared by producer Ramesh Taurani, he cleared that Ishq Vishk Rebound is different from Ishq Vishk and only a couple of the songs have been retained. He also shared why he feels the rom-com-drama genre has good theatre appeal.

Speaking of the retention of the original songs of Ishq Vishk in Ishq Vishk Rebound, producer Ramesh Taurani said, "Songs like Ishq Vishk Pyaar Vyaar and Chot Dil Pe Lagi were so popular that we retained them. However, nostalgia aside, we have worked hard to maintain a balance so they can also connect with young audience members today". He confirmed that there are original songs like Soni Soni (already out on Tips Official YouTube channel) and many others that are soon going to release.

Emphasing on how youthful rom-com-dramas have played a catylst in the growing popularity of new gen actors, Ramesh Taurani said, "Be it Ranbir Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan; They also garnered a lot of love and popularity with films in this genre. Ishq Vishq Rebound is also a part of this genre and while comparison with the original is unfair, we do hope that we receive the same support and love from the audiences today, especially as these young actors have all worked very hard. The idea is simply; To bring a film that deals with the issues that the youth grapple with today, and bring a heart-warming, coming of age rom-com back to the theatres.
