Since the Sachin Tendulkar artwork on Marine Drive has undergone a change of address, creator, artist Jaideep Mehrotra is not happy. Mehrotra, who was commissioned by art aficionado Harsh Goenka’s RPG Foundation to make this artwork, said, “An artwork can never deface any surface or public facility. I think there is some ego of the people involved, and I am shocked that it is such a challenge to promote art in the city.”
