Hari Puttar wins "case" against Warner Bros







Hari Puttar wins "case" against Warner Bros


Makers of movie Hari Puttar won the case of Injunction filed against it by Warner Bros for alleged copyright violation in the Delhi High Court.

Warner Bros filed the case against the movie as the title Hari Puttar is similar to Harry Potter, Warner’s franchise of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter book series, and, therefore, borders on infringement of its intellectual property rights.

But Mirchi Movies contends that Hari Putter is an Indian name meaning Son of God. The case was fought on their behalf by leading lawyer Arun Jaitley.

Hari Puttar, about a lonely kid’s adventures, was slated to release on September 19, but was deferred to a September 26 release due to the ongoing case proceedings.

Directed by Lucky Kohli and Rajesh Bajaj, the film stars Sarika, Jackie Shroff, Zain Khan, Swini Khara, Saurabh Shukla, Vijay Raaj and Lilette Dubey.

The movie will now release September 26.
