'Hari Puttar not similar to Harry
Potter'
Washington:
The makers of Bollywood film Hari Puttar have
defended the movie - insisting it has nothing in common
with Harry Potter. Warner Bros is taking legal action
against producers of Mumbai based Mirchi Movies, who
are set to release a film entitled 'Hari Puttar -
A Comedy of Terrors', which follows the life of a
10-year-old Indian boy who moves to Britain, on 12
September (08). The studio believes the name is too
similar to that of the young wizard and are willing
to fight through the courts to ensure the film doesn't
hit cinemas worldwide. However, bosses at Mirchi Movies
insist their film doesn't infringe on the copyright
of the Harry Potter franchise. "Our film bears no
resemblance to the Hollywood film Harry Potter and
it is a completely different story," Contactmusic
quoted a spokesman for the studio, as saying. "Our
film has been in the making for quite some time and
everyone knew about it," he added. The case is due
in the Bombay High Court on 25 August (08).
