Film delay

With the latest Harry Potter film delayed, you'd think Warner Bros would be happy that there was a replacement in the wings ... but, it seems not. There was some talk that "Twilight" would slip into the spot - but apparently there's a new contender: "Hari Puttar - A Comedy of Errors". The Bollywood film tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who moves to London and becomes involved in a plan to save the world. It is not related to the Harry Potter wizard movies, to which Warners Bros owns the rights - which could explain why Warners' filed a lawsuit against the makers of "Hari Puttar". According to the BBC item I read, the film's title was registered in 2005: Hari is a popular Indian name, and Puttar means 'son' in Hindi and Punjabi. "Hari Puttar's" release has been delayed, but at this stage it's unclear as to how long.
