Indian Hari Puttar is set to hit cinema screens this week after New Delhi High Court rejected Warner Bros lawsuit against bollywood comedy film, claiming the name was too close to its Harry Potter series, a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling.
Court ruled that people who have watched the Harry Potter movies know the difference between Hollywood movie and the Indian film. Mirchi Movies, the producer of Hari Puttar- A Comedy of Terrors said Hari is a common name in India and Hindi for God, while “puttar” is Punjabi for son.
