Allu Arjun, who recently bagged Best Actor National Film Award, is all set to have his wax figure unveiled at the Madame Tussauds Dubai, later this year. On Thursday, a video of the actor giving his measurements surfaced which showed him donning a black suit. His figure will wear an iconic red jacket which he wore in the boardroom dance scene of his movie Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.
The official page of Madame Tussauds Dubai shared a video of Allu Arjun visiting the museum, and he shared his excitement about his wax statue being featured in the iconic wax museum. He said, "In a way, it's a very surreal experience for me. Because, as a kid, when I went to Tussauds, I never imagined that I would see myself as a wax figure at Madame Tussauds."
Here's the tweet
A 'sitting', that is a meeting between the celebrity and the artists at Madame Tussauds, took place in Dubai earlier this year. Over 200 measurements were taken, being the normal, detailed process needed to create one of the amazing wax figures.
Sanaz Kollsrud, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Dubai said: "Allu Arjun is without a doubt the biggest actor from the south of India. What better way to mark his incredible success than by giving the fans what they want - his first-ever wax figure! Our artists have been working with Allu on his likeness and we can’t wait to unveil the figure later this year." On the work front, Allu will next be seen in the much-awaited Pushpa 2: The Rule. Sukumar-directed action drama will be released in the cinemas on August 15, 2024.
