Raghubir Yadav and Anshuman Jha’s upcoming father-son drama comedy, Om Ka Hari, was originally titled Hari-Om. The makers, First Ray Films, had wanted to retain the original title, but the title rights were held by Tips, which had used Hari-Om for a film over two decades ago and did not agree to part with the title.
The makers subsequently changed the title to Om Ka Hari. The new title also corresponds to the film’s central characters, with Yadav playing Hari and Jha playing Om.
Anshuman Jha said, “Yes, the film was originally going to be called Hari-Om but because we didn’t get the title rights, we did the next best thing. Om & Hari are deeply spiritual words, culturally resonant with our great nation & Harish Vyas wanted to express the Father Vs Son Dynamic through the names of the characters which is Om & Hari. “Om Ka Hari”-the title is a testament that a son eventually does become the father & the father becomes the son in a deeper sense and that life itself is circular. And therefore “Om Ka Hari” is the most appropriate title for this picture.”
The title change comes as the film explores the relationship between a father and son, with the reversal from Hari-Om to Om Ka Hari reflecting the characters at the centre of the story.
Om Ka Hari also stars Soni Razdan, Ayesha Kapur and Samta Sudhiksha in key roles. The film is scheduled for a September release and will release exclusively in cinemas.
