Their wax figures will join the league of Indian stars in the capital. The figures will be displayed in a dedicated theme-based zones, which will also have Hollywood celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, Beyoncé Knowles, and Kim Kardashian.
“India is always known to have a massive number of fans following Hollywood/international celebrities. And this number is growing rapidly.
Madame Tussauds has always been known to bring the “fans closest to their most loved icon. We understand this is necessary for the Indian fans to feel the same experience that people all over the world feel,” said Mr Anshul Jain, general manager and director, Merlin Entertainments India Private Limited.
It may be noted here that the company, Merlin Entertainments, owns all Madame Tussauds attractions across the globe.
“The Indian fans will have an opportunity to indulge in a sought-after red carpet experience along with their favourite global icons at the museum,” Mr Jain added.
