To the Merchant-Ivory Productions:

 

It has come to our attention that your next film project, "The

Goddess" will be based upon the Hindu goddess Kali/Shakti Maa...

 

According to the media reports about the script of the film `The

Goddess", you are turning Kali Maa into a musical joke, "dancing and

singing atop of a tiger". This will be very offensive to her millions

of worshippers and a billion Hindus worldwide. Further, you are

casting Tina Turner as the Goddess. We have no quarrel with Ms Turner

as such, as she is talented but because of her reputation/image as a

"sex icon" in most people's minds, it is improper to cast her as Kali.

We strongly object to the making of this film because of its feared

offensive portrayal of a Hindu deity and we kindly request you to

shelve this project..
