Hari Puttar LAWSUIT!
“You’re a lawsuit, Harry!” The legal wizards at Warners have brought a lawsuit over release of Hari Puttar. Mirchi Movies is releasing movie “Hari Puttar - A Comedy of Terrors” in India but Warners wants to cast a spell to make it go away.
A spokesperson for Warner Bros reportedly
said: “We have recently commenced proceedings against parties involved in the production and distribution of a movie entitled Hari Puttar.
“Warner Bros values and protects intellectual property rights. However, it is our policy not to discuss publicly the details of any ongoing litigation.”
Some reports say the movie is closer to “Home Alone” than Harry Potter (pictured above).
Mirchi Movies’ chief operating officer, Munish Purii, said: “We registered the Hari Puttar title in 2005, and it’s unfortunate that Warner has chosen to file a case so close to our film’s release. In my opinion, I don’t think our title has any similarity or links with Harry Potter.”
The lawsuit starts in Bombay’s High Court August 25.
