A lawsuit has been filed to prevent the release of a Bollywood film titled Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors because Warner Bros. "claims the movie title hews too closely to their mega-famous boy wizard franchise," according to the Associated Press (via the Denver Post).
"There is absolutely nothing to link Hari Puttar with Harry Potter," countered Munish Purii, CEO of Mumbai producer Mirchi Movies. The AP's brief description of the movie seems to add another yet layer of intrigue to the potentially litigious plot: "The film is not a tale of wizard spells or flying broomsticks, but rather a story of an Indian boy left home alone, who fights off burglars when his parents go away on vacation--a plot more reminiscent of the film Home Alone, starring Macaulay Culkin."
