Not everyone in Hindu community laughing over new comedy
TORONTO — He made us rock in Wayne's World, laugh out loud as Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and fall in love with a swamp-loving ogre in Shrek. But Canadian actor Mike Myers is stirring up a different vibe in his new movie, The Love Guru.
The movie, which is being released Friday, is already creating a buzz among Hindus in North America. Some of them object to the actor's portrayal of a bearded spiritual leader with a distinctly Indian accent.
Mr. Myers plays Guru Pitka, a self-help coach who seeks fame in America and is hired to restore matrimonial bliss for a Toronto Maple Leafs star player so the team can win the Stanley Cup.
Seems harmless enough? It depends on whom you speak to within the Hindu community. After watching the movie trailer, some say that it ridicules parts of their religion. Others prefer to sit back and wait to watch the whole movie before deciding to protest.
......we are attempting to reach some level of harmony with our East Indian brethern who are hindus :
