HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Salman Khan unveils wax statue at Madame Tussauds16th Jan 2008 13.01 IST By Agencies Surrounded by fans, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan unveiled his wax statute at Madame Tussauds in London on Tuesday. Salman beat nine other Indian mega stars to win a place at the world famous waxworks museum after a public poll conducted last summer. 
Salman's statue stands in a special Bollywood section alongside those of three other Mumbai greats - Amitabh Bachchan , Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan . The museum hopes the installation of the new statue, reflecting Salman's popularity in the West, will attract many more South Asian and British Asian visitors. Salman was measured and photographed by expert sculptors in Mumbai last October to kick-start painstaking work on his wax double. He personally chose and donated clothes for the figure to wear. Salman, who has starred in over 55 films since his 1988 debut film 'Biwi Ho To Aisi' made it to the central London attraction after beating off competition from Madhuri Dixit , Hrithik Roshan , Lata Mangeshkar , Abhishek Bachchan , Rani Mukherjee , Karan Johar , Kajol , Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham . More than 10,000 people voted in the poll to choose the "Next Bollywood Star" conducted last August. Ben Lovett of Madame Tussauds said recently: "The Asian market is critical to our attraction and our association with Bollywood, particularly the launch of Shah Rukh Khan, has seen a dramatic increase in the number of Asians, from both the UK and abroad, visiting and enjoying Madame Tussauds. We hope to build upon this exciting relationship with the unveiling of Salman."
