Shruti Haasan, Samantha Akkineni Bring to Life Iconic Raja Ravi Varma Paintings

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.

Like I have always said painters have the best sense of light and the technique with which they are able to reproduce their subject with subtle nuances.
