The actor took to Instagram to reveal the same. He wrote: “Keep an eye out. Coming soon.” He can be seen holding an artificial eye close to his right eye. Next to him, we see a hand holding a box of artificial eyes in a Madame Tussauds box.

On Monday, Deepika too had shared two pictures from her trials, where she can be seen checking an artificial eye and in another picture, a face measuring equipment is held close to her face.

According to reports, Deepika’s London statue should be ready by early 2019, while her Delhi statue will take some more time. No time frame is known in Shahid’s case.
