He's making a children's film and it's called "Hari Puttar". But, according to its young NRI producer, the film is not really a takeoff on Harry Potter but his version of "Home Alone".
Harinder Singh Kohli, better known as Lucky Singh, 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 a homage to my childhood," he says.
Singh has finalised the casting of all 10 kids who are part of the film.
"Zen Khan, who has done a number of advertisements, will play the role of the main kid. I want Paresh Rawal to play the main adult role. He's also excited over the idea of doing a children's film. We don't have too many of them in Bollywood, do we?" Lucky said.
"But Rawal has a problem with dates and I want to shoot in October. Ours is a small budgeted film. And we've to finish on time," the producer of the Harry Potter-meets-Home Alone-meets-Bollywood film said.
