Vasu said it took about 5 hours, 30 minutes to construct the playing card structure at the Kerala Samajam Charitable Society. The 10 foot, 7 inch structure was a new national record, the Asia Book of Records confirmed.
"It needs a lot of patience, perseverance and motivation," Vasu told The Times of India of his hobby. "For me, it's a passion. I hope to break the Guinness record of [23 feet] some time."
