 Just when we thought the latest news on wax statues and Bollywood stars was Hrithik Roshan's wax statue coming aboard on.
Just when we thought the most latest news on wax statues and Bollywood stars was Hrithik Roshan's wax statue coming aboard on the Bollywood list of Madame Tussauds, London; we were yet again surprised (not much) by the unveiling of Shahrukh Khan's wax statue at Times Square, New York.
The statue is Khan's third to be placed in Madame Tussauds, the previous two adding glory to the wax museums in London and Los Angeles. His latest model will be placed on the 9th floor of the museum, giving company to Amitabh Bachchan's model which was placed in the Bollywood Zone last year.
King Khan has undoubtedly reached a milestone by having his wax statue placed in 3 of the museum's 10 branches spread all over the world. The unveiling of his statue was accompanied by the DVD release of SRK's latest hit film; My Name is Khan, which came out earlier this year. The Bollywood Axion Dance Troupe also gave a brilliant dance performance to mark this event by performing on songs from My Name is Khan and Khan's other films; including Om Shanti Om.
Shahrukh's latest statue is dressed in a classy black suite, standing astride in a relaxed posture, and carries the trademark dimpled smile, which has swooned millions of girls around the globe. What is more interesting is the simple (NOT) cost of making the statue, which amounted up to approximately $ 1,25,000 (Rs. 62,50,000). What with SRK's great brand power in New York and a huge fan following, Madame Tussauds will surely soon be flooded with people wanting to pose with the new statue.
