Renowned international sand artist Manas Sahoo has created a poignant sand animation in Puri, Odisha, as a heartfelt tribute to the legendary veteran artist Shri Manoj Kumar. The artwork, which took 2 hours to complete, beautifully captures a statue of Manoj Kumar, reflecting his immense contribution to Indian cinema.
Shri Manoj Kumar was not just an actor but also a film director, screenwriter, lyricist, and editor. Known for his deeply patriotic films, he earned the affectionate title of “Bharat Kumar” from audiences across the country.
Through this artistic gesture, Manas Sahoo honors the legacy of a true icon, conveying the message: “RIP Manoj Kumar Ji”.
