Salman Khan to be immortalized in New York

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will join fellow stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan in the “Bollywood Zone” of wax figures at Madame Tussauds museum in New York Aug 2.

Salman Khan, who burst onto the scene with his award-performance in “Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989”, is one of Bollywood’s most bankable actors.

His latest film, “Bodyguard”, has become the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time. In 2004, People magazine named Khan the seventh best-looking man in the world.

“Salman Khan is one of Bollywood’s most enduring and recognizable stars,” said Bret Pidgeon, general manager of Madame Tussauds New York. “Bollywood exploded on the American pop culture scene several years ago and has become one of our most exciting entertainment categories.”

Madame Tussauds New York’s Bollywood Zone is a brightly-coloured, fully-interactive area that includes a replica of the Taj Mahal, videos of authentic Indian dancers and a photo area where visitors can pose with Bollywood stars, all designed to re-create the experience of being on a Bollywood film.

Over the coming years, Madame Tussauds plans to expand the area to include figures of other prominent Bollywood stars.

Khan’s figure, on loan for three months from Madame Tussauds London, was launched in January 2008, after Khan beat nine other Indian mega-stars – including Madhuri Dixit, Hrithik Roshan, Lata Mangeshkar and Abhishek Bachchan – in an August 2007 public poll to choose the “Next Bollywood Star” that would get a wax likeness.

Khan personally chose and donated the black top and denim jeans for his wax figure.

  • @Hritik roshan…we accepted your apologize. Why not we are lion heart lovers of man with golden heart.

  • Some Salman khan fan using the name for degrading HR.Yeah currently Salman is way ahead of Hrithik but only from last 3 years.There is no doubt that salman is the bigger and currently the biggest superstar in bollywood.Hrithik has done so far 18 films in his career out of them 5 movies are BB,other 3 are Hit to superhit & Lakshya is above avarage.So it is 9:9 its not that bad if you compare him with Salman career but SK has ATBB thats success ratio.But Hrithiks 3 movies has been highsest grosser of the year thats equal or better than any khans post 2000 era .He has one highest grossing bollywood movie Dhoom 2 which broke the previous record of gadar and later broken by Gajhni source BOI .But for now dont compare him wid Salman or any khans till he gives an ATBB.But he can give that in coming years.

  • dude tell me 1 thing when it comes to acting hrithik is way ahead of salman but when it comes of stardom it’s salman who is ahead of hrithik

  • Only remaining teritory of srk(oversea) is in danger now.Now other actors like salman,hritik,aamir and akshay are also doing well in oversea.

  • salman ke fan…….mujhe ebatao ki salman hrithik se kiss chij mein accha hai???…..acting,dance,singing,looks……salman sirf ek chij mein aage hai……hunting and killing innocent people lying on road and last but not least fighting with actors and actress too……he will be cursed by god…mark my word

  • We are agree that salman can’t act but no one had king heart & following like Salman…Bollywood without SALMAN is like RAMZAN without Eid…….Salman is Bhaijan of all fan’s…

  • @lallu fans, if u are talking about overseas hrithik, amir is a way ahead of lallu and don’t even think of salman taking over the overseas, srk’s fans in overseas are beyond imagination, Srk’s 5 or 4 movies are in top 10 man its impossible for him to beat srk and its a bit impossible for salman to beat srk at worldwide as srk’s movies are ruling with don2 and ra.one. And there is a possibility that salman can’t stay on top in INDIA till 2013 coz big movies are lined up , AMIR’S—DHOOM3 AND HRITHIK—-KRISH3.
    And maybe in 2014 SRK’S–DON3, there is no chance of salman going to rule 2013– 2014.

  • SAlman ke aage sab dood peete bache hain No one can overtake SALMAN……Overseas ki kya baat karte ho Pehle India mein apna naam aur record banalo tab baat karein ge overseas ki….Fans ki jagah Dil mein hoti hai like(INDIA) phepdoen aur gudoen mein nahia like(overseas).

  • Stop chatting crap salman khan and srk used to be good freinds and are from the same religion but broke up because money,power, and because they are famous. And could you stop bringing ek tha tiger in every poll of comments because its not linked with it. And if you do wana talk then ek tha tiger will be a very succesful movie but srk movie will also be successfull and they will both smash the box-office . However the biggest star in london and overseas where i live is surely srk no one even knows salman khan they all talking about amitab bachan , srk, amir khan!

  • ek tha tiger srk aur akshay fans ke piche aisi laat maare gi ki yeh confuse ho jaye ge ki desi toilet pr baithe ya english hahahaha
