Click to play videoNew Delhi: Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors, the film whose name sounds uncomfortably close to Harry Potter, will be up for discussion in a Delhi Court on Thursday.
Its makers face a lawsuit filed by Warner Brothers, the producers of the Harry Potter series of movies.
Warner Bros, the owner of the Harry Potter trademark, have filed a lawsuit against Mumbai-based studio Mirchi Movies and have sought an order restraining producers of the film from releasing the movie under its present title.
In their defence the producers of Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors say the film is not anything close to Harry Potter.
The movie is scheduled for release globally on September 12 and it follows the life of a 10-year-old Indian boy who moves to Britain
The decision could very well be a landmark judgement as far as copyright issues in India are concerned.
