We have made a raucous sex comedy, and I expect people to have fun," said director Daisy von Scherler Mayer as she predicted that The Guru would have 'an excellent word of mouth'.
"It is also a film with heart; it is about relationships," she continued. "You leave the theatre thoroughly entertained, but you will also remember the underlying themes: love conquers all and we ought to accept everybody for who and what they are."
Scherler Mayer, who grew up in New York, says The Guru ultimately "is about embracing humanity. And at this time, its underlying themes are very crucial to everyone in America."
As for critics who slammed the film for being too formulaic, she said, "I did not make the film for snobbish critics."
