Instead of the traditional route, people these days rely on social media platforms to showcase their creativity to the world. A man recently took the Internet by storm with his creation. The video, which
has gone viral and garnered over 32 million views, showed him sculpting the face of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. What made the clip stand out was the unusual material used for the artwork.
The man, instead of using Plaster of Paris, clay, or stone, used coconut leaves to sculpt the actor’s face. Using careful hand movements and simple tools, he carved facial features and refined details before mounting his finished work on a wooden plank. The realism of his artwork left people stunned. As the video quickly went viral, many rushed to the comments section to praise the creator’s skills. The video has received over 1.8 million likes.
Internet Praises The Man’s Creativity Until They Learn The Truth
“Kamaal ka talent hai bhai,” said one user. Another added, “Deserves a million likes.” Someone else mentioned, “Omg, he is the best artist in the world.”
If you scroll through his Instagram feed, you will come across another video in which the man appears to take the artwork a step further by building the entire body of Shah Rukh Khan using the same coconut leaves, but then there was a twist. People were left impressed by his creativity until some pointed out that it was actually artificial intelligence behind it.
A few eagle-eyed viewers began to question the authenticity of the clip, noting that the leaf pattern on the face appeared to change within the same video. “AI, the leaf pattern on the face changed,” one person said.
“Bhai, this is not banana leaves. That’s coconut tree leaves. And also AI,” a different individual commented.
Someone else quipped, “How perfect is AI.”
The Man Reveals He Used AI
The mystery was finally cleared by the man himself. What appeared to be man-made was actually made with the help of artificial intelligence. Once people in the comments section began speculating that the man used AI, he confirmed it. In one of his posts, an individual asked how he created the video using AI. The man shared that he used Google Gemini’s Veo 3.1 to create it.
