What did Leena Manimekalai say about Kaali movie poster?

New Delhi: The Hindu community has been offended, and the Toronto-based Aga Khan Museum has apologised profusely. The statement was made by the museum in response to the intense debate started by the “Kaali” poster posted by Canadian filmmaker Leena Manimekalai. According to the museum, the in question documentary film is one of the 18 brief videos on show as part of the “Under the Tent” celebration, which aims to promote “intercultural understanding and debate through the arts.” The announcement came two days after the Indian High Commission in Canada requested that “the derogatory representation of Hindu Gods” be removed by the organisers. On July 2, Leena Manimekalai posted a poster for her film Kaali on Twitter. It showed a movie character lighting up a cigarette. The persona was costumed as Kali, a Hindu goddess.
