Mexican agency Boveda Celeste had contacted him on Facebook for the permission to recreate the video.
The video shows someone dressed up in spacesuit walking slowly through the damaged road carrying a Mexican flag. The video was meant to take a dig at the government for not looking into the matter seriously. Badaal has got many requests to recreate his ‘moonwalk’ video including from different parts of India.
The Bengaluru-based artist has used his creative artwork in the past too. He has created dummy mermaids and crocodiles around potholes to draw the attention of Bengaluru’s municipality to the city's infrastructure woes.
