Mike Myers‘ upcoming film The Love Guru has been targeted by the Universal Society of Hinduism, who demand that the movie be shown to Hindu leaders and organizations prior to being released to the public. Apparently, they’re worried that the movie makes fun of Hinduism and uses Hindu terminology frivolously, according to a press release issued by the group. “Hinduism is the oldest and third largest religion of the world with about one billion followers and a rich philosophical thought, and it should not be taken lightly,” states Rajan Zed, President of the Society. The Love Guru is about an American (Myers) who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus. It also stars Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and Ben Kingsley and is scheduled to open in theaters on June 20th.
