Directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara: Chapter 1 is the prequel to the 2022 hit mythological drama, Kantara, and has been widely praised for its powerful performances, deep dive into regional folklore, and breathtaking technical aspects and VFX.
In Kerala, artist Sreejith S S used discarded materials in his workshop to recreate Kantara’s tiger. With the sharp eyes, tense body, and wild texture, the sculpture feels as though it has stepped straight out of the film. (Image: Instagram/@gypsy_art)
The artist reportedly recreated the film’s majestic tiger using discarded materials. The process began with a simple wooden frame and the form gradually took shape through layers of dried banana leaves, straws, and papier-mache. (Image: Instagram/@gypsy_art)
For the fur, Sreejith used coconut fibre husk, giving the tiger its rugged texture and raw presence. (Image: Instagram/@gypsy_art)
The tiger looks strong and alert. The stripes feel sharp, the face intense, and the fur has a texture that makes it look real – you almost forget that it is made from waste. (Image: Instagram/@gypsy_art)
In a video shared on Instagram by @gypsy_art, a group of artists was seen building the massive tiger structure. The artist shared the post with the caption, “Kantara movie tiger made from waste material is now in Kerala.” (Image: Instagram/@gypsy_art)
The creation serves as a reminder that great art often stems from the most ordinary materials, proving that with true creative vision, discarded objects can be reborn with striking beauty, power, and a voice all their own. (Image: Instagram/@gypsy_art)
