New Delhi, March 25 (IANS) Amitabh Bachchan is the first Bollywood actor to get a wax figure at the world famous Madame Tussauds museum in Hong Kong. His statue features in the Hall of Fame section and was unveiled by award-winning actor Moses Chan.
With a successful career spanning 40 years, Amitabh has four National Film Awards to his credit. The 68-year-old’s wax avatar sports a black sherwani with red buttons, teamed with a white pyjama.
“There are more and more Indian visitors taking the star-studded journey through Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. We are sure that the new Amitabh Bachchan wax figure experience will appeal to our Indian visitors, who will get to meet their legendary star here, as well as other local and international visitors,” Kelly Mak, general manager, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, said in a press statement.
The wax figure was unveiled amid a group of Bollywood dancers, who struck an Indian pose along with Chan and Mak later.
The statue will be displayed against an Indian style facade, highlighted with light bulbs. The guests will be able to enjoy a theatre-style lighting show inspired by Amitabh’s movie “Aladin”.
So far no other Bollywood actor has a wax figure in the Hong Kong museum.
Amitabh also has a wax statue each in Madame Tussauds’ London and New York museum, respectively.
