A new landmark in Bandra, Mumbai, is attracting attention for celebrating some of India's most admired personalities. Legends Square, which is managed by Rahool N. Kanal's I Love Mumbai Foundation, is an art installation of Indian icons for the first time.
These are some of the famous names who will also be honored on Legends Square: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, Virat Kohli, and Sunil Chhetri.
The initiative aims to bring entertainment and sporting legends together in a public place so fans and visitors can celebrate their achievements. The installations are designed to add a distinctive cultural touch to the neighbourhood while giving admirers an opportunity to see larger-than-life tributes to personalities they look up to.
Salman Khan is particularly notable for his immense popularity in India and his long association with Mumbai. The actor has been in Hindi cinema for decades and still is one of the most recognizable actors in the industry. He is one of the Bollywood celebrities that appear in Legends Square.
Virat Kohli, one of India's most successful cricketers, is also in the gallery. Kohli has become one of India's most influential athletes.
The tribute to Sunil Chhetri is to celebrate one of the country's most distinguished footballers. Chhetri has provided much to the Indian football community and has inspired generations of fans through his dedication and achievements on the international stage.
The project is managed by the I Love Mumbai Foundation, an organisation involved with civic and community activities in Mumbai. The foundation’s involvement gives us a wider goal of creating public spaces that celebrate our culture, personalities, and heritage.
For Bandra residents and visitors, Legends Square could be a very interesting new place to visit in the future, especially for those fans who seek the installations for some of India’s most celebrated icons. With public art projects such as this one, it would be very useful to make neighbourhood design more visually interesting and recognize the achievements people can identify with and celebrate across generations.
The launch has received positive reactions from admirers who welcomed the idea of honouring Indian icons in a public setting. The mix of personalities from cinema, cricket, and football also makes the space more diverse.
Salman Khan, Virat Kohli, and Sunil Chhetri are among those who will be recognised in Legends Square, and it will be a unique expression of Indian talent and achievement in the heart of Mumbai. And there is also a unique feature in Bandra with entertainment and sports history coming together.
