Talking to Hindustan Times, Swapnil said he is happy that Ranveer noticed and shared his art. However, he added, "He is an artist, he must understand the importance of giving credit where it is due. I do not intend to create a controversy but it would be nice to get credit for my work.” Swapnil also said that perhaps the actor did not know who originally made it.

“I am a professional artist and because of the lockdown, I am not going to office. Just to kill time, I started this series of creating Indian celebs as famous personalities from past. I began with Ranveer as Vincent Van Gogh because I love him and I am a huge fan,” he added.

A day after Ranveer’s post, Swapnil made a new creation featuring the Gully Boy star and wrote, “#Credit ko mar goli bro Ranveer singh deserves more...Experiment with Ranveer singh.” Filmmaker Omung Kumar was among the many to have appreciated his post earlier this month.

 

 

Sharing the painting, Ranveer had written on Instagram, “As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed. Vincent Van Gogh.” Chirag Patil, Huma Qureshi and Manish Malhotra dropped heart emojis on Ranveer’s post.
