Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan will be the first Indian actor to be immortalised at the Madame Tussauds in Sydney, Australia this year.
Bachchan’s wax statue will be featured alongside celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Lady Gaga, Johnny Depp, Sir Donald Bradman (cricketer) and Captain Cook.
“With his lifetime of professional achievements, it is nothing but an honour for Madame Tussauds Sydney to serve as the temporary home for the wax figure of Amitabh Bachchan.” Quinn Clarke, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Sydney said.
“Amitabh will add even more colour and interactivity to our attraction, and I have no doubt the amazingly lifelike wax figure will be extremely popular with our guests, particularly the local Indian community. The Bollywood industry is one that is growing exponentially and we are certainly very proud to be able to offer our guests a taste of it right here in Sydney.” he added.
Amitabh Bachchan
Bachan Sir, evergreen actor and such a legend
Big Salute for Big B!
Whatever happened to the Kat-Dips-PC contest for the statue?
wah sirji
Lady Gaga? ? What’s her statue doing here? There are legends like whitney, mariah carey,celine dion,madonna etc etc who aren’t here. Anyway,good to know about BigB.
First megastar of bollywood.
Proud moment! Well deserving.
Dilip ji, big b and SRK rulers of their respective generations… Sad to see some ppl compare eid star and 11 hits in whole career of 30 years star to SRK the king of Bollywood right from atbb ddlj(1995) to bb DTPH(1997) to atbb KKHH(1998) then giving non stop blockbuster from 2000 to 2005 mohabattein,k3g,devdas,KHNH,veer -zaara, main hoon na to superhit don then continuing his bb run with cdi,OSO and rab ne bana di to worldwide blockbuster and biggest worldwide hit of 2011 Ra.One to atbb Chennai Express
Amitabh Bachchan is simply timeless. Megastar of the millennium. Well deserved honour.
Big b I love or personality.
Hugh jackman is australian born..so he is there,anyway he is a great actor too…
Big b congratz!!!!
Respect.. Truly a legend of Indian cinema…
Great. Every achievement is looking short in front of Big B.he is the biggest icon of bollywood no doubt. #Respect.
great, wish Irfan Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, SRT, Mr. Dhyanchand, get dis honour
True Legend of Bollywood
@Ankan HR and SRT already have statues at London and Sydney.. Aamir Sir was offered twice, but he rejected it as he didn’t want to be immortalized when he’s alive…Even Sallu Bhai has it in London..
Chickrum..more jokes about our King pls…The name of the 3 Khans are taken in the same breath anywhere in the world..Bhai and Aamir Sir belong to a league where Hits, Flops and stardom doesn’t matter to them anymore..whereas SRK is still chasing Ready records and is scared of failure…
P.S Bhai himself has said that SRK is the King and deserves to be there.. He(Bhai) is totally misplaced and beyond being a King..
Nyc
Aamir got his statue to promote Ghajini but refused Madame Tussauds? This is just an excuse to cover up that he was never approached at all.
@nipun…dude u seems to b like a really smal kid to me..bud grow up nd take a look atbthe world…lady gaga is one of the greatest pop singer in history nd probably the biggest of het genefation(katy perry is very close 2)..so keep ur useless criricizing nd irrelevant opinions widin urself..illetrate fellow..poor boy
Salman is the first bollywood legend who is found his place in madem tussads musium through voting over hritik, madhuri, aamir(m nt sure), kajol. if shahrukh in the conpetition sure he wnt won over Salman. hritik was runer up with 26 (approx) vote. so called global king becuz of disaster movie king uncle he is most hated hero in indian cinema. manoj kumar/ bharat kumar teach him lesson at oso time after he became normal srk otherwise he was self proud king good for nothing
