Madame Tussauds is indeed happening for Salman Khan. The actor , who flew into the city yesterday morning after shooting for Subhash Ghai's Main Yuvraj in Austria , is working on the look of his wax statue with his friends. If sources are to be believed, a team of artists and designers from Madame Tussauds will be heading to the actor's residence at Galaxy Apartments later this week to take the necessary measurements. While the actor does not mind having a shirtless replica, the museum authorities want him to appear in a suit.A source close to the actor informs, “Earlier, Salman was not ready to have a wax statue. But now that he is geared to have a wax statue installed at the world-famous museum, he is taking a keen interest as far as the look of his statue goes. The shirtless look paired with torn denims represents his true self. But the museum's management wants him to pose in a suit albeit from his own wardrobe.”
The actor is consulting his sister Alvira Agnihotri for the costumes that his wax figure will sport. A pair of denims from his wardrobe will also go to the museum.
Coming to his 'lucky bracelet', the actor intends to place an order for it, too. The silver bracelet embedded with a firoza stone is a popular accessory in the Khan family. Not too long ago, Salman gifted a similar bracelet to younger brother Arbaaz Khan.
His father, Salim Khan, has also been seen wearing a similar bracelet in the past.
Salman's spokesperson informs, “Contrary to reports, Salman is quite comfortable with the idea of having a wax figure. Madame Tussauds's crew members will soon fly down to take his measurements and hair samples. ”
he wax statue will be unveiled at the museum in January 2008.
