Shah Rukh Khan has set the box office on fire again with Jawan, his latest release. The Atlee directorial has broken the record for the biggest-ever opening in the history of Hindi cinema with the action film grossing Rs 74 crore across all languages in India on day one.

Amid the frenzy for Jawan, an artist from Kolkata has created a 30-feet portrait of Shah Rukh using white marble stone chips. Pritam Banerjee took to Instagram to share a video of the artwork he created on the roof of a building.

In the clip, he is seen using the marble stone chips and paintbrush to create a lifelike portrait of the 57-year-old actor. A drone shot captures the stunning portrait as Banerjee spreads his arms in the signature Shah Rukh pose.

“Tribute to the King Khan @iamsrk, making of the portrait with white marble stone chips. Size approximately 30ft. Anyway, this comes from the core of my heart, the love I have for this Man is beyond the size of this art. I wish he could see this! Made this big picture art a month back, since then waited for the right time to post it. I think now was the time. Can’t wait for #Jawan,” Banerjee posted as the caption.
