Only five Bollywood stars have so far achieved the distinction of having their wax replicas displayed at Madamme Tussauds. Now, Kareena Kapoor is set to join the league. Her wax figure will be unveiled on October 2011.
But what's special about her honour is that the launch of her wax figure will also flag off a global Bollywood exhibition where the Bollywood wax figures will travel to six cities including London, Hong Kong and Bangkok, thus reflecting a growing global interest in Bollywood.
Kareena Kapoor said, "It is an honour and a privilege for me to have my wax-figure at Madame Tussauds and even more so to flag off a global Bollywood exhibition. This is a moment of pride for Indian cinema."
Matthew Titherington, General Manager at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said: “We are very excited to have Kareena in Blackpool to launch our amazing Bollywood figures. It is a real honour to have her here and we know that Bolywood fans in UK will be very excited to see her and her new wax figure. It is the first time she has been immortalised in wax and the first time these figures will be grouped together. It is the perfect place to launch our Bollywood World tour and look forward to welcoming her fans to the attraction when the figure goes on display in October.”
