Salman stands tall at Madame Tussauds

Bollywood hunk Salman Khan unveiled his life size wax statue at the world famous Madame Tussauds museum in London. Salman is the fourth Bollywood star after Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Bachchan to make it to the renounced museum. Salman was accompanied by his girlfriend Katrina Kaif and other friends and family members.

Salman said he felt very proud to have his statue at the museum as very few Indians have made it to Madame Tussauds. The other prominent Indians to have made it to the museum are Mahatma Gandhi and Indira Gandhi. In a poll conducted last year Salman beat stars like Madhuri Dixit, Hritik Roshan, Lata Mangeshkar and Abhishek Bachchan, to win a place at the world famous waxworks museum.

The Bollywood hunk was extensively photographed in Mumbai last year. It took a team of 5 artist 12 weeks to make the life size wax statue at an estimated cost of Rs 1.62 Crores. Salman had given vital inputs on his muscles and hair to the museum authorities. Salman also donated the set of clothes and a bracelet for the statue.

Salman's statue has been placed just meters away form his one time lady love Aishwarya Bachchan to draw more attention from the visitors. An estimated 2.4 million Indians visit the museum every year and authorities are planning to put the wax statue of other Bollywood stars to attract the Indian community. They had approached Aamir Khan but the actor declined the offer.
