It's been announced that award winning Bollywood actor, Hrithik Roshan, is
going to be the latest star to be immortalised in wax by the world famous
tourist attraction Madame Tussauds.

Hrithik has already sat for sculptors in his home town of Mumbai in India
and in London..

They took hundreds of photographs and precise measurements for the figure, which will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London in January 2011.

The film star is expected to be closely involved in the making of the wax
figure, collaborating with the team to agree the pose and donating items of clothing for his figure to be dressed in.

Born and bred in the heart of Bollywood, cinema has always been in
Hrithik's blood. His father is the producer and director Rakesh Roshan
and he starred in his first film at the age of 6.

Hrithik is following in the footsteps of other Bollywood giants including
Amitabh Bachan, Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan - all of whom feature in the attraction.

Madame Tussauds Studios has been making wax figures for over two hundred
years. Each masterpiece takes a team of 20 dedicated sculptors and
stylists around 4 months to make at a cost of 150 thousand pounds.
