Harry Potter becomes `Harry Puttar`!

He’s making a children’s film, and it’s called Harry Puttar. “But it’s not really a takeoff on Harry Potter. It’s my version of Home Alone,” says the young NRI producer of Harry Potter-meets-Home Alone-meets –Bollywood.
You could call him ‘Anees In Wonderland’. Meet Harinder Singh Kohli, better known as Lucky Singh… Harinder a London-based film producer and entrepreneur with 25 animation films to his credit is now making a feature film in Hindi.
“I grew up watching Hindi films. And I often wondered why there was so little for kids. Harry Puttar is my homage to my childhood.”
The South Indian maverick producer Dr Murli Mohan is also a part of the film. Does Lucky foresee any copyright problems with the makers of Harry Potter? “Not at all. We’ve already got the title. Puttar is an accepted word in Punjabi. Why should that create a problem?”
