LEICESTER, ENGLAND, May 15, 2003: Religious leaders criticized a scene in the Haymarket Theater’s production of “Bollywood Jane” in which a statue of Lord Ganesha is thrown to the floor. On Monday, the play’s production staff met to discuss how the scene could be altered and made adjustments to the scene so the statue is not thrown on the floor. Rashmi Joshi, secretary of the Hindu temple in St. Barnabas Road, Leicester, saw the revised scene. He said, “We were very pleased with what they had done, and I’m glad they took our complaints on board.”
