Hindu body joins opposition against Hollywood film

MEERUT: Joining the chorus against upcoming Hollywood film "The Love Guru", which allegedly has some scenes that mock ashram life and Hinduism, a Hindu group here has asked its producers to make "necessary changes" before the movie is released in India.
 
"The film cannot be allowed to be screened in the country if the objectionable sequences are not removed," spokesman of Brahmin Progress Organisation Hari Narayan said.
 
"If it is still released, then the Brahmin Progress Organisation will oppose its screening. The producers should make the necessary changes," he said.
 
Many Hindu groups, including some in the USA are demanding deletion of some of the film's scenes that "hurt religious sentiments".
 
A comedy starring Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and Ben Kingsley, "The Love Guru" is set for release on June 20.
 
The story revolves around an American, raised in an ashram in India, who moves back to the US as 'Guru Pitka' to seek fame and fortune in the world of self-help and spirituality.
