Prabhas’s wax statue to be installed at Madame Tussauds Bangkok

‘Baahubali’ star Prabhas will be immortalised with a wax figure to be installed at Madame Tussauds’ attraction in Bangkok in March 2017. According to S.S. Rajamouli, director of the magnum opus, he is the first south Indian actor to be honoured with a wax statue.

He will be the third Indian to get a wax statue at Madame Tussauds Bangkok, which already houses figures of Mahatma Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. And his statue will be placed in the museum’s Movie Room, side by side with other iconic characters such as Spiderman, Wolverine, James Bond and Captain America.

“Prabhas is definitely in the spotlight,” commented Noppadon Prapimpunt, Head of Bangkok Cluster for Merlin Entertainments (Thailand), and General Manager of Madame Tussauds Bangkok.

“He is not merely all about his unique style and macho charm in his screen presence but also a superstar who fully lives up to his family legend of his father, Uppalapati Surya Narayana Raju who is a well known Tollywood (Telugu film) producer and his uncle Krishnam Raju, the famous Tollywood actor and politician,” Prapimpunt added.

After “Baahubali: The Beginning”, the creation of Prabhas’s wax figure had been requested by his fans from around the world.

Prabhas underwent a sitting in Hyderabad with Madame Tussauds artists, where 350 photographs, and measurements were taken of the star to enable a flawless recreation of his likeness. He will be depicted as his character Amarendra Baahubali and will be seen in his battle armour at Madame Tussauds Bangkok.

During his sitting, Prabhas said: “I am really happy to have been selected by Madame Tussauds and this was only possible because of the fans. I am grateful for their unconditional love and support. I am also thankful to my guru, S.S. Rajamouli, for the opportunity to work on this fantastic project called ‘Baahubali’.”

Rajamouli is happy with the news.

“Very happy to announce that Madame Tussauds is making a wax statue of our Prabhas. First South Indian to be honoured thus. The statue will be unveiled at Bangkok in March 2017 and subsequently will be toured all over the world,” he tweeted.

Actor Rana Daggubati also tweeted: “What joy and pride it brings me when the Brother the Baahubali Prabas has his very own statue at the Madame Tussads.”

  • Happy for an Indian be him from any part ,Uri incident have now made me love every caste and individuals in my country and pray we unite as one and don’t hate each orher,after all we have to show much more mature than those Pakistani and can stand as a 1 nation.

    Bahubali really took India cinema to another level,after that we all though Mohenjodaro will have done it but unfortunately no which left us with one Magnus opus in the name Shivaay. Every time I see the trailer I feel so proud of what my country can do and show to others India is no way lagging behind Hollywood if we can be serious and concentrate more with high octane plots.

    Depending on Ajay Devgan Sir to also show our brothers in the south that if they made a magnus opus Bahubaali We Bollywood can also show case a Shivaay.
    God bless and make Shivaay something unique too. In India let’s all stand united and love our brothers and Sisters.

  • Is it just me who thinks…bahubali movie was highly overrated..although I do appreciate the work of everyone involved..but still overrated!

  • Happy for prabhas
    but y has rajinikanth neber been bestowed with such honour , seems like his stardom is limited to only south india
    P.s saale kuch bhi kehteh hain , kabali ne ek din mein 200 cr kamaliye lol

  • Shivaay Bahubali 2 Robot 2.0 movies am highly expecting to cross previous records of other high crossers. I just hope we can expand our number of Single Screens and Multiplex by 3 times more

  • Only our king Shahrukh deserves to be there. Even Leo DiCaprio is nothing in front of our king in terms of acting and popularity.
    Leonardo DiCaprio = 0 Filmfare Awards
    Shahrukh Khan = 14 Filmfare awards
    Hence Shahrukh is a better actor than Leo DiCaprio.

  • Leonardo Dicaprio highest grosser Titanic = 2.2 billion dollars
    Shahrukh khan highest grosser CE = 4 billion rupees
    4 billion >> 2.2 billion
    Hence king Shahrukh is a bigger and more popular star than Leonardo DiCaprio.

  • Instead of him, I think Rajamouli’s wax statue should have been installed at madame tussauds.. LOL Baahubali is all about Rajamouli !

  • We request the government of Thailand to immortalise a wax statue for waiter number one in Thailand I.e Akshay Kumar. He deserves because he contributed a lot to a Bangkok city and their people unlike in India where he produced many beggars than the whole Brazil and Chinese combined ?

  • @pratz. ..same Bro. .it’s highly overrated. …another than visuals there is nothing in the movie. …..

    ….@ floppy. …waiter no.1 ..haha. ..lol….good one Bro

  • Total shit,just his elder father was a member of BJP & was also renowned actor of 70’s,moreover is in good terms with Modi,his film has got a national award & now this wax statue.Film has neither such contribution from its content nor do from the lead hero at all.

  • Happy for NaMo NaMo P M Modi statue in Madame Tussaud respect this man shown how Chaiwala can to becomes PM of India his popularity unmatched than any Bollywood star superb achievement . Today is Lal Bahadur Shastri Jayanti .

  • @ Floppy,

    Bhai, Tujhhe strong recommendation hai, Please have a visit to psychiatrist…

    Sun, Tujhhe Main batata hu, Akki was not only waiter… He has gone through so many bad phases or struggles in his earlier life, He had done salesman work in Mumbai, He had done work travel company in Kolkata, He had learnt karate, martial art, thai boxing in Bangkok and as he was from a middle class family, He had to work their in Bangkok to survive, He used to teach karate there…

    As I said, HE HAD TO SURVIVE SO HE DID SO MANY SMALL WORKS, HE WASN’T RICH LIKE YOU…

    Now coming to the point…

    Teri auqaat kya hai re, Ghonchu?

    Akshay has whatever earned, he has earned by his own power, Uska koi Godfather nahi tha, JAISE TERE NON ACTOR AUR 2 RS. STAR KE PAAS THA…

    After all the previous struggles and dedication, hardwork, discipline is Akshay Kumar is now that self made superstar who does not need your praising words, TU JAISA HAI WAISA REH, TERI SOCH TERI FITRAT BATATI HAI HUME AND LISTEN, AKSHAY KUMAR KE GHAR KE BAHAR KHADA HONE WALA EK GUARD BHI TUJHHSE ZYAADA SELF RESPECT AUR ZAMEER RAKHTA HAI, TERI AUQAAT KUCHH NAHI HAI, SUNA?

    TALKING ABOUT AKSHAY’S WAX STATUE?

    GO AND SEARCH IT ON GOOGLE, AKSHAY KUMAR KE PAAS MADAME TUSSAUDE KI TEAM AAYI THI MEASUREMENTS LENE KE LIYE 2009 MEIN, AKKI NE KHUD REFUSE KIYA UNKO YE BOLTE HUYE KI, HE HAS PADMSHREE AWARD AND HE DOES NOT THINK THERE CAN BE ANY BETTER RESPECT MORE THAN THAT EVEN BEING A WAX STATUE THERE…

    Last but not the least, TU YAHA ITNI GAALIYA KHATA HAI, TUJHHE YAHA LOG FATKAARTE HAI, FIR BHI EK BESHARM INSAAN KI YAHA TU FIR AA JATA HAI, DUNIYA KA SABSE ZALEEL INSAAN HAI KYA BEY TU? AUQAAT MEIN RAHNA SEEKH, CHHOTE LOG BADI BAATEIN KARTE HUYE ACHCHHE NAHI LAGTE, JITNA
    STRUGGLE AKKI NE APNI LIFE MEIN KIYA HAI NA UTNA 1 PERCENT BHI TU KAR LE TO FATT KE HAATH MEIN AA JAAYEGI, SAMJHHA?

    AKSHAY TERE IS NON ACTOR KI TARAH NAHO THA JISKA ALREADY KOI NA KOI INDUSTRY MEIN THA, CHAL RAWANA HO…
