The trailer for Mike Myers’ new comedy The Love Guru premiered a few months back, and man it looks awful. Myers stars as Pitka, “an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus.” So it’s not technically a white-dude-in-Indian-makeup, but it might as well be.
The first trailer for his next movie, The Love Guru is here. Perhaps more importantly it has Romany Malco, who may finally break out and get the success he deserves after some flat out brilliant work as part of an equally brilliant ensemble in The 40 Year-Old Virgin.
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.
