Legal Notice from Bappi Lahiri to 'Toonpur' film makers

Legal Notice from Bappi Lahiri to 'Toonpur' film makers: After huffing and puffing about the animated character called Guppy in the film Toonpur Ka Superhero being a spoof on him, singer-composer Bappi Lahiri has finally sent a legal notice to the makers of the film.

The film, produced by Kumar Mangat and Krishika Lulla, has a character named Guppy who apparently dresses like Lahiri and even sings songs.

Lahiri’s counsel Sangeeta Mandal is quoted as saying: “We have sent a legal notice to the producers Kumar Mangat and Krishika Lulla, and director Kirit Khurana. It is regarding the character Guppy in the film, but I cannot divulge any details.”

On the other hand, Mangat and Lulla are surprised that Lahiri has gone to the court without calling them to clear the air.

The film stars Ajay Devgan and Kajol in lead roles and has been directed by the first-timer Kirit Khurana. Kirit says the character Guppy dresses up like Elvis Presley and not Lahiri.

Toonpur Ka Superhero Preview

Toonpur Ka Superhero Preview: Toonpur Ka Superrhero, India’s first motion picture that combines animation with live action, promises fun for kids during Christmas this year.

The film stars Ajay Devgan and Kajol in lead roles. The movie is conceived and directed by Kireet Khurana and has music by Anu Malik.

Aditya (Ajay Devgan), a film superstar, and his wife Priya (Kajol) have achieved all the success they have dreamed of. But their children (played by Amey Pandya and Chinky Jaiswal) would rather have a father who is a real life hero, not just a reel hero.

Aditya wants to redeem himself in the eyes of the children when suddenly the opportunity comes knocking on his door and he finds himself in Toonpur.

Toonpur is the land of his children’s favourite cartoons, where he has to fight the toonasaurs (bad toons) to save the Devtoons (good toons).

Aditya meets a number of toon characters like the sexy Loveena, the music freak Guppy, the geeky Lappy, the sagacious Gyaandev, the big fat Beegben, the constable Pandu and a kid named Bolly.

Produced by Kumar Mangat and Krishika Lulla, Toonpur Ka Superrhero is set to release on December 24.
