An installation dedicated to master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has been declared out even before it walked out of the pavilion. The artwork, by well-known artist Jaideep Mehrotra, was going to be inaugurated by Amitabh Bachchan on May 1 at a traffic island at the end of Joggers Park in Bandra west. However, following a recent circular by BMC, it won't see the light of day at the spot.

The circular, issued by BMC's municipal commission for arts, music and culture (MCAMC) concerning submission of any proposal for installation of artwork, mural, sculpture, 'I love ward/area', wall painting, wall murals etc, in respective wards, stated: 'it should be ensured that the installation or sculpture or mural should not resemble any personality. In other words, statues should not be erected under the guise of a sculpture/mural'.
