The Eega star Nani picked up a painting by Kamal Kamaraju that depicts Kamal Haasan in his Kshatriya Putrudu avatar.
Actor Kamal Kamaraju's artistic ability as a painter is well known. While he started off with a series of painting titled My Name is Minnu that revolved around the girl child, the actor is now veering towards filmi subjects even on canvas. Kamal's latest line is all about colourful cinema posters and the theme appealed so much to actor Nani that he got one custom made for his home theatre.
Speaking to Hyderabad Times, curator Kali Sudheer says, "Six months ago, Nani met Kamal at a function and while they were conversing casually, Nani asked him if he could come up with a painting for his home theatre. And knowing that Nani is a big fan of veteran actor Kamal Haasan and would often rave about the movie Kshatriya Putrudu, Kamal Kamaraju decided to paint Nani's matinee idol in his fave avatar."
While Nani and his wife Anju went gung ho over the painting, Kamal reveals that many socialites have approached him with similar requests. We hear that a prominent lady in the city has asked Kamal to do a life-size painting of Nagarjuna from the film Manmadhudu.
