Never imagined that I would be waxed in a statue, says Prabhas

Baahubali star Prabhas will soon join an impressive list of film stars with a wax statue: He will have one of his installed at Madame Tussauds, Bangkok. “I am really happy to have been selected by Madame Tussauds. I’m also thankful to my guru, SS Rajamouli, for giving me the opportunity to work on this fantastic project,” the star said in a statement after the announcement.
SS Rajamouli, director of Baahubali, revealed the news on his Twitter account. He wrote: “Very happy to announce that Madame Tussauds is making a wax statue of our PRABHAS...
