Hari Puttar sparks lawsuit

Bollywood producers set to release a film called Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors are working to fend off a lawsuit filed by Warner Brothers that claims the movie title hews too closely to their mega-famous boy wizard franchise.

While Bollywood films often borrow liberally from Western movies, producers of Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors say their movie bears no resemblance to any film in the Harry Potter series.
