 The Love Guru upsets Hindu community Quote: Actor Mike Myers has sparked controversy in Hindu communities for "lampooning" the religion in his new movie The Love Guru. The 44-year-old plays Guru Pitka in the upcoming film and repeats the mantra of Mariska Hargitay - inspired by the American actress - as his calming technique. But Hindu leader Rajan Zed has accused Myers of stereotyping the culture, adding the movie "appears to be lampooning Hinduism and Hindus." Studio Paramount Pictures has agreed to a preview of the movie for Hindu leaders prior to its release. A spokesman says, "Love Guru, which is not yet complete, is a satire created in the same spirit as Austin Powers. It is our full intention to screen the film for Rajan Zed and other Hindu leaders once it is ready." Seriously, groups like this need to either disband or find something actually worthwhile to complain about.

Re: The Love Guru upsets Hindu community It isn't any worse than christianity. Oh and this movie does have things that will upset some particular group of hindu people.
TGC had nothing that would hurt christian people yet they were against it.

Re: The Love Guru upsets Hindu community It's not his fault that their culture is full of stereotypes.

Re: The Love Guru upsets Hindu community I think it upsets Comedy more than Hinduism.

I wonder why when someone posts something about a religious group upset about something, somebody always brings in christianity even if it was not mentioned in the first place.
