'Xena: Warrior Princess' episode withdrawn after Hindu complaints
LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- The producers of "Xena: Warrior Princess" have decided not to re-air an episode which makes reference to the Hindu deities Lord Krishna and Hanuman.
Renaissance Pictures apologized Monday to the Hindu community for offending them and said the company will not produce any further episodes involving Hindu deities.
"Xena: Warrior Princess" is an action-adventure series which stars Lucy Lawless as Xena.
"We certainly had no intention of offending anyone," a spokesperson for the studio said.
The episode in question first aired in February, and quickly drew complaints from a Hindu group, the World Vaishnava Association.
