Mumbai, Sep 4 (NationPress) Actor Vijay Varma, celebrated for his roles in ‘Gully Boy’, ‘Mirzapur’, ‘Darlings’, and more, has added a unique treasure from the rich history of Bollywood to his collection.
On Thursday, the talented actor shared snapshots from his residence on Instagram, showcasing his latest acquisition: an art replica of the legendary painting created by Majnu Bhai from ‘Welcome’. This whimsically absurd artwork features a donkey perched atop a horse, depicted with utmost seriousness by Majnu Bhai (played by Anil Kapoor), as though it were a true masterpiece.
In his post, Vijay stated, “Yes, I’m an Art Connoisseur. Sharing my moment with the most iconic painting from Bollywood... no artwork has ever brought us this much joy @aneesbazmee sir @anilskapoor sir respect. Majnu Bhai supremacy.”
This painting plays a pivotal role in the film during an auction scene that alters the film’s trajectory. The humor arises from the juxtaposition of a fearsome gangster behaving like a sensitive, misunderstood artist, yet producing a completely nonsensical piece of art.
Over time, the painting has evolved into a meme and a cultural icon in India, frequently symbolizing “abstract art that perplexes everyone.”
Recently, Vijay Varma discussed embracing a new chapter in his life. Following his reported breakup with Tamannaah Bhatia, he took to social media to announce “new beginnings” on his professional journey.
Previously, Vijay shared on Instagram a bouquet of flowers accompanied by a handwritten note from filmmaker Hansal Mehta.
The note read, “Dear Vijay, Welcome on board! Here’s to a shoot filled with hard work, the pursuit of excellence, and some great memories. Lots of love, Hansal and Vikram.” Sharing this image, Vijay remarked, “New beginnings.” He has revealed that he is now engaged in an exciting new project alongside Hansal Mehta.
Vijay and Tamannaah are said to have ended their two-year relationship. Although neither has publicly confirmed the breakup on social media, reports suggest they parted ways due to scheduling conflicts.
