Warner Bros. is turning a watchful (and legal) eye on Bollywood.The studio is claiming an Indian film titled Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors (pictured), comes too close to the mega-blockbuster Harry Potter franchise.
“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,” Munish Purii, of Mirchi Movies, the Mumbai-based studio behind the movie, told The Hollywood Reporter. The lawsuit, filed last week, could stall the film’s Sept. 12 premiere date in India.
But does the Bollywood film really run the risk of being mistaken as a clone of the series about a young British wizard? Hari Putter’s synopsis describes a kid-friendly adventure to keep a computer chip out of the wrong hands — more like a cross between Home Alone and Spy Kids than a rip-off of a gaggle of boarding school sorcerers. Not to mention “Hari” is a common Indian name and “Puttar” means “son” in Punjabi.The case is slated to be heard in the Bombay High Court later this month.
Producer Suneil Shetty is facing a real problem having to promote his forthcoming ‘Mission Istanbul’ without the leading protagonists, Zayed Khan and Vivek Oberoi.
On Sunday, both the stars were was unable to attend a huge musical concert in Dehradun by the film’s producers Popcorn Entertainment. Only producer Sunil Shetty, director Apoorva Lakhia and actor Nikiten Dheer (who plays the main antagonist) along with the musicians were present. While Vivek is shooting in South Africa for a Tips film, Zayed, though in the country, was committed to shoot for Subhash Ghai.
Ironically, Sunil intends to promote ‘Mission Istaanbul’ in a big way in non-metropolitan areas like Uttaranchal and Bihar where the stars provide face value. Sadly, it will have to be done without either of the film’s leading men.
Her last lead role was in ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ in 2006 opposite Shreyas Talpade. Then, she appeared in 2007 in the sizzling title song of ‘Heyy Babyy’. The song was a hit but Riya seemed to have lost among the bunch of girls in the song.
Now, she has a cameo in ‘Hum Phirr Milein Na Milein’ where she also has an entire item song shot exclusively on her. Titled ‘Sajan Mera’, the song also features the film’s lead Sarwar Ahuja who appears to be all pensive and troubled as per the demand of the situation in the song.
Produced by Rajesh Gupta and directed by Manish Goel, the film marks the debut of Tabassum’s grand daughter Khushi as the leading lady.
However, Riya is not cooperating with the makers for the promotion of the film on the plea that the makers only wanted to cash in on her name and popularity to promote the film. This is why she was demanding close to Rs 3 lakh just to promote the film. However, the film being a small budgeted one, the makers are not ready to bow down to Riya’s demands.
Finally this week will see the release of two most awaited projects marking the debut of two awaited star kids- Harman Baweja and Imran Khan. The Global Premiere of Harman Baweja’s debut ‘Love Story 2050’ was held at Cine World Feltham in London on July 2, 2008. The Premiere was hosted by the London distribution office of BIG Pictures and the stars adding glitter and glamour to the premiere were the debutant male lead, Harman Baweja, the leading lady, Priyanka Chopra, the versatile Boman Irani and the Producer-Director, Harry Baweja. With Harman’s dancing skills already crating stirs with the promos of the songs from the film, the release will finally decide how much of the acting material he possesses.
