Against the rural and agronomic backdrop of paddy fields, plant life and stagnant waters, he has a way of bringing the fictional cult classic to life.

He's back with more! The time around, Zahir showcased the film’s iconic characters through a series of images inspired by his old family portraits. The results are genius, to say the least!

The images are so lifelike, you wouldn't be able to guess that they're toys

'Hey soldier! If you don't smile, I'll force choke you to your death. Got it?'

Pretty amazing, eh? The Force is, indeed, very strong with Zahir Batin! Check out the whole album and more of his work here.
