Meet Guru Pitka: Mike Myers' new comedy character

Thu 01 Jun 10:30 AM

Hollywood rascal Mike Myers has dreamt up another comedy misfit to unleash on the film going public.

Pitka is a self-help guru currently cracking up audiences on stage in New York theatres, in the same way Austen Powers first took off.

The Indian spiritualist first appeared in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, as Vanessa's Guru who gives Austin advice on how to get his mojo back. Now he has written the character into a film with writer Graham Gordy.

In the Paramount-produced movie, Pitka must help a couple solve their relationship issues, presumably with hilarious results.

As well as Pitka, Myers is already starring in the studio’s previously announced comedy How To Survive A Robot Uprising. And before either of those hits the screen, he’ll be heard voicing a certain green ogre in Shrek 3.
