As a birthday tribute to Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, an artist prepared a unique picture using parts of jackfruit from jackfruit orchard. The portrait of the actor was made by mixing various parts of jackfruit – including Rinds, Seeds, Pods and Haki – arranged in various etiquette and colors by artist Da Vinci Suresh.

The picture was made in the middle of a jackfruit orchard that features 65 different varieties of jackfruit. Mohanlal is turning 65 on Wednesday, 21 May. The background was decorated with jackfruit leaves in green, yellow and orange colors.

It marks the 97th media artwork by Da Vinci Suresh and was built in the Ayur Jack Farm, owned by Varghese Tharakan in Kurumalkunu, Velur, Thrissur. Pictures, eight feet in width and two feet measuring in height, were made by sketching Mohanlal’s face on a frame, and then made by taking care of jackfruit rinds to complete the image.

It took about five hours and about twenty jackfruits to make this project art. Da Vinci Suresh was assisted by workers of Ayur Jack Farm, Cameraman Sinabad and friends Rias Madwan and SAT Shafi. The farm is notable for the first jackfruit orchard in Kerala to receive the UN Award.

Suresh said that there was an inspiration behind a rare red jackfruit idea. After discovering various places in Kerala, the artwork was finally completed with the support of Varghese Thakrane at the Ayur Jack Farm. Many people including Vadakanchari MLA Javier Chittilappili went to see the pictures.
