Now, Shah Rukh's wax statue in Paris

Sourav

Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan has more reason to smile - he will have a second wax look alike coming up in the West, this time in France.

Barely a year after his wax statue was unveiled at Madame Tussauds, London, Paris's Grevin wax museum will present King Khan's wax statue next month.

This will make Shah Rukh the second Indian celebrity after Mahatma Gandhi to have a wax statue in Grevin and the first Bollywood star to have two wax statues in the two most prestigious wax museums worldwide.

Stating this in Mumbai Friday, Grevin's marketing director Frederic Gouguidis said that this was the outcome of its exclusive partnership with the travel major, Cox and Kings, in the Indian market.

Khan is extremely popular in France with a huge fan following and the wax statue would give Indians another reason to travel to that country, he added.

Paris Convention & Visitors Bureau managing director Paul Roll said that Paris is a hot destination among Indian tourists. "Last year, over 300,000 Indians visited France, the second largest number after China," Roll said.

A 19th century French journalist Arthur Meyer conceived Grevin's wax museum. He collaborated with Alfred Grevin, a cartoonist, sculptor and costume designer to work on the project.

When the wax museum doors were finally thrown open to the public in June 1882, it was a grand success.

Some of the wax statues in the Grevin collection include Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Pope John Paul-II, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

Yes I have, as I posted here:
SRK's wax statue

he's coming for the unveiling on April 28th, but they will probably block the street of the museum, so if you want to get a glimpse at him you'd better come very early. Of course the museum will be open in the afternoon if the unveiling takes place in the morning

well maybe he'll be there on the 8th as well, but the 28th is confirmed byt the museum itself. If you're lucky it will not be in the morning (Shahruklh is not an early bird either Wink

anyways, i'll be there and probably with a good bunch of 'pagali'

as for seeing him face to face..... Rolling Eyes

assured (ok, talking from the point of view of a woman...)
