London, Jan 9 English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has come out with a more controversial film than Borat, which is certain to ruffle some feathers.

His new flick has been dubbed by fans on the net as Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America For The Purpose Of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable In The Presence Of A Gay Foreigner In A Mesh T-Shirt.

Cohen plays the part of a gay fashion correspondent from Austria in the movie, and he is sure to infuriate religious groups with one of the key characters a black model called Jesus who wears a loincloth and a crown of thorns.

The movie got a screening in the US and it has already failed to make the more religious members of the audience laugh.

"Sacha has really gone for the shock tactics this time," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

"The characters were created deliberately to wind certain sections of society up and Jesus is one of them.

"It won't be the first time Sacha has landed himself in hot water. The water might be a little hotter this time round though. Religion isn't always the best place to poke fun," the source added. (ANI)
