A micro sculpture artist Sachin Sanghe has carved the face of megastar Amitabh Bachchan on a pencil lead. The actor says he is humbled by the artistic tribute.

The sculpture got its actual form after eight hours of hard work and dedication.

"Dear sir, a portrait sculpture on pencil lead for you! Eight hours of effort! Hope you like it," Sanghe, who also indulges in chalk carvings, shared on Twitter with an image of the sculpture.

Impressed by the artist and his work, the 72-year-old actor was in awe with the intricate detailing and thanked Sanghe for the "amazing" work.

"This is amazing! Thank you so much," Big B tweeted.
