Kranthi Kumar Panikera, also known as Drill Man, has once again amazed the world with his extraordinary talents. After previously earning a place in the Guinness World Records (GWR) for stopping 57 electric fan blades with his tongue, the Telangana-based performer set yet another bizarre record in 2024. During his appearance on Italy’s Lo Show Dei Record, Kranthi shocked both the audience and viewers worldwide by inserting 22 nails into his nose using a hammer.
An Unbelievable Feat: 22 Nails in One Minute
In a thrilling GWR video shared online, Kranthi demonstrated his unique skill by hammering one nail after another into his nose. He carefully removed each nail before moving on to the next, achieving the seemingly impossible in under one minute. His astonishing feat broke the previous record, and the clip ends with Kranthi celebrating joyously as he receives his new GWR certificate.
The official GWR Instagram post shared the news, stating: “Most nails inserted into the nose with a hammer in one minute, 22 by Kranthi Kumar Panikera, Drill Man.”

A Wave of Reactions
The comments section on the GWR’s post was filled with awe and astonishment. One user humorously said, “He nailed it,” while another asked, “How do you even discover this talent?” Others expressed concern, with one remarking, “This is deadly. I wouldn’t be doing this challenge.” Some commenters even joked, “Achieve something so impressive that anyone who tries to beat it will feel their soul shivering.”
Another proud commenter shared, “India is not for beginners,” as they marveled at Kranthi’s courage and resilience. One individual even questioned, “How does he not feel pain? He went from using his tongue to stop fan blades to nailing his nose.”
Kranthi’s Journey to Multiple Guinness Records
While this incredible record is a new achievement for Kranthi, he is no stranger to breaking boundaries. In addition to stopping 57 electric fan blades with his tongue, he has also earned a Guinness World Record for pulling a 1944 kg vehicle using a swallowed sword. Moreover, Kranthi has achieved the remarkable feat of pulling 17 items out of hot oil with his bare hands in just one minute.
A Look at the Previous Record
Before Kranthi’s remarkable achievement, the record for the most nails inserted into the nose was held by Burnaby Q Orbax from New Brunswick, Canada. In 2015, Orbax set the record by inserting 15 nails into his nose in just 30 seconds at the Buskers on the Bay Festival. However, Kranthi’s incredible performance now holds the new benchmark.
Kranthi Kumar Panikera, known for his fearless feats and otherworldly talents, continues to defy the limits of what is possible, leaving audiences and online communities in utter disbelief.
