South actresses Shruti Haasan, Samantha Akkineni, and Ramya Krishnan have come together for a common cause. The South stars have replicated the beautiful muses of legendary painter Raja Ravi Varma for a calendar shoot. The actresses have recreated the poses of the artist muses by wearing similar clothes and jewelry. The end result was truly magnificent. The replication was shot by photographer G Venket Ram. The recreation is so perfect that you will be unable to distinguish the original paintings and the photographs.
Here are the pictures shared by the actresses on Instagram:
Samantha took to Instagram and shared her picture, recreating Varma’s painting of a woman holding a fruit. “Always the best working with you @venketramg… recreating Ravi varmas work for NAAM. So glad I could be a part of this meaningful project .. Thankyou,” she wrote in the caption.
Ramya has recreated Varma’s painting of Damayanti, dressed in a red sari, talking to the swan who told her about King Nala’s love for her. “Recreating Ravi Varmas work for NAAM …feeling blessed thank you @suhasinihasan for this wonderful opportunity and @venketramg your the best…..glad to have been a part of this project,” she wrote.
Shruti Haasan recreated two paintings of Raja Ravi Varma – one of a lady by a river while the other is of Rani of Kurupam. She is dressed in a purple saree for one and in a blue saree for another, the colours matching the exact originals. “Such an incredible experience shooting for this and such an honour to be associated with this cause !! Thankyou @suhasinihasan Akka for making me a part of something so memorable,” she shared.
Aishwarya Rajessh shared her photo and wrote, “It was a fantastic experience working with G Venket Ram (@venketramg) and suhasini (@suhasinihasan) for recreating Ravi varma project for NAAM. So glad I could participate in such a meaningful project.”
Khushbu Sundar also posed for G Venket Ram’s 2020 calendar.
The calendar has been launched for Naam Charitable Trust, which completed a decade of work in women empowerment.
