Tuk Tuk would be played by Elijah Wood.

@Joel,
lol. That would have been awesome.

Well, its obvious that “Hari Puttar” supposed to sound like Harry Potter, and that people for some reason confuse the two. So I would say that there is some legal groundwork to sue.
Althought it kinda sounds like Home Alone, kids have been foiling criminal activities in movies way before Home Alone, and plenty of times after.
And that lame “popular Indian name” “son” explaination is a bunch of ass. That title then doesn’t make any sense. I wanna see someone Japanese-American remake this movie and call it Daniel Son, about a young kid who learns martial arts from an elder, and then foils the evil plans of the Kobra Kai,… and he also does magic. Let’s see what kind of legal problems arise from that.

Home Along might have been better if Macaulay Culkin had been left behind with “his little cousin Tuk Tuk.”

I don’t see any resemblance to either film. Warner Bros. should take the money they’d spend on legal action & focus on making movies. This lawsuit stuff is crazy.

I don’t see any resemblance to ‘Home Alone’ at all…

If it is true that they are legally obligated to sue then why didn’t Rowling sue over the Harry Pothead books? (Maybe she did but I’m not googling it….and oh yeah she’s from the U.K.) Those books may have been worthy of suing over as they compromise the sanctity of a kid friendly franchise.

It just sounds like Warners is sucking lame sauce because there is no way this will take any viewers away from the franchise. We probably would have never heard of it if they weren’t suing!
