“We are hoping to secure a ‘sitting’ with Mr Roshan and our sculptors in the next few weeks so the figure is ready to join our popular Bollywood area at the beginning of next year”, confirmed Liz Edwards, spokeswoman for Madame Tussauds London.

Hrithik’s figure will join our other leading Bollywood actors including Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
