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.

Paramount Pictures unveils a new featurette with Brad Pitt, David Ayer and JK Simmons, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the survival thriller that puts an extraordinary human-dog bond at its heart.

For Brad Pitt, Heart of the Beast is about far more than survival. It is about loyalty, love and the extraordinary bond between a man and his dog. In a new featurette from Paramount Pictures, Pitt opens up about his character James Belmont’s relationship with his canine companion Odin, revealing what drew him to a story where, in the most unforgiving circumstances, a dog becomes his greatest source of strength.

“When I first picked up the script for this movie, I read it and it just really, really moved me. That bond between human and dog, dog and human, it’s something quite incredible,” says Pitt, who was also drawn to the opportunity to reunite with longtime collaborator David Ayer, with whom he previously worked on Fury. In the featurette, Pitt describes the film as a story of survival, but also one with plenty of heart.

Directed by Ayer, Heart of the Beast follows Special Forces officer James Belmont (Brad Pitt) and his combat dog, Odin, after a harrowing plane crash leaves them stranded deep in the Alaskan wilderness. As they battle the unforgiving elements and fight to make it out alive, their bond becomes their greatest strength.

“This is on its surface a survival movie but underneath its surface it’s a love story,” says Pitt and continued, “The experience cemented what I know to be true about our relationship with dogs, and their relationship with us. It’s that intense loyalty and their love is unconditional. We are less alone in the world, because of our dogs.”

The featurette also offers a glimpse into the filmmaking and the emotional core of the story. Ayer says, “James and Odin never give up on each other. They would sacrifice themselves in a heartbeat for the other”, while actor JK Simmons, who stars as Watkins, says, “I was absolutely absorbed by these characters. There’s deep, deep heart in this movie.”

Also starring Anna Lambe, the film is written by Cameron Alexander, and produced by Olivia Hamilton, Marty Bowen, David Ayer, and Brad Pitt, with Damien Chazelle, Scott Lumpkin, Cameron Alexander, Chris Long, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, Andrew Lary, Sophie Cassidy, and Zack Conroy as executive producers.

Produced by Paramount Pictures in association with Domain Entertainment and Gulfstream Pictures, Heart of the Beast arrives exclusively in cinemas across India on 25th September 2026.
