A controversy broke out after filmmaker Leena Manimekalai shared the poster of her film on her social media. The poster depicts a woman in the guise of the Hindu goddess Kali. In the poster, she is seen smoking a cigarette. The actress, who plays the goddess with her usual outfit of trident and sickle, is shown waving the pride flag of the LGBT community.
we have received complaints from leaders of the Hindu community in Canada about disrespectful depictions of Hindu Gods on a poster of a film showcased as a part of the ‘Under the Tent’ project at the Aga Khan Museum, Toronto.
Our Consulate General in Toronto has conveyed these concerns with the organizers of this event.
We are also informed that several Hindus groups have approached authorities in Canada to take action.
We urge the Canadian authorities and event organizers to withdraw all such provocative materials.
