Exterior Mural,
29.6 x 3.65 meter
Suryapeth,
Telangana
July, 2024
This mural draws from Hyderabad’s deep connection with cinema, especially the world created inside Ramoji Film City, a place where stories come alive, from historical epics to futuristic dreams. While the earlier mural in Suryapeth focused on being rooted in culture while looking forward, this one shifts the spotlight to the rich film history of the region.
Film has always been more than just entertainment here. It’s where memory, imagination, and identity come together. Ramoji Film City stands as a reminder of that, where village sets, palace backdrops, and modern cityscapes sit side by side, all built for storytelling. This mural taps into that energy, blending the past and future through the lens of cinema.
By referencing this iconic site, the mural celebrates how Hyderabad continues to shape and be shaped by film. It invites viewers to see the city not just as a place, but as a space where different times, stories, and possibilities come together.
Mr. Kalakar India is the pen name of Rahul Kumawat, a Vadodara-based visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans mural art, large-scale installations, canvas painting, thread work, and paper quilling. Rooted in an appreciation of cultural identity and evolving heritage, Rahul’s work explores the dynamic intersection of tradition and modernity, often reflecting on how technological shifts reshape the stories we tell.
With a background in Interior Design (B.Sc. Hons., 2022), Rahul began his artistic journey in 2018 and turned professional in 2019. Since then, he has completed over 200 art projects and earned recognition for his efforts, including four world records. Among these is the world’s largest thread artwork, alongside monumental chalk and stone pieces. In 2022, he was named one of the Top 100 World Record Holders by the World Record Union.
Rahul’s journey has also extended beyond the studio. He represented Gujarat at the Republic Day Camp (RDC) 2022 as part of the NCC Army Wing, where he was felicitated by ADG Arvind Kapoor and honored by Asia’s first astronaut. His work has been showcased in NFT FYC 2022 and featured in the Times of India.
Currently, Rahul continues to create impactful artworks that leave a lasting emotional impression. He actively seeks collaborations that challenge the boundaries of scale, material, and imagination—bringing together a deep respect for heritage with an eye on the future.
