The idea & the setback during the painting
Abhishek, who is widely know as Sachin’s Jabra Fan for his huge collection on the Indian cricketer, had the idea for the painting and approached Gaurav to bring his idea to life. The painting work started two days ago, but unfortunately, the painting was spoiled one day ago. However, Abhishek’s firm determination and his team’s dedication did not halt the project, and they started the painting again with fresh materials, completing it in a record timing of 10 hours.
