The popularity Shah Rukh Khan enjoys in France came as a surprise to him as well.Recently SRK was honoured with the prestigious French title, ‘Order of Arts et Lettres’, at a ceremony in Mumbai. Now, plans are afoot to have a wax statue of the superstar at the Grévin Museum in Paris.
Reportedly, SRK was recently approached by delegates from the museum with a request for a statue. Needless to say, the superstar happily gave his nod.
Artists from the museum have already taken the measurements for the statue. Reports have it that unlike SRK’s statue at Madame Tussauds, which is very formally dressed in a black suit, the wax replica at Grévin will have SRK in casual attire. Possibly, it might have the superstar flaunting his by-now-famous six-pack abs.
The statue will reportedly be unveiled in April this year. SRK will fly to Paris to do the honours.
So far the Grévin Museum has the statue of only one Indian – Mahatma Gandhi.
Over the last few years the museum has seen a steady rise in visitors from Asia. The museum apparently sought to attract more such visitors by keeping a wax replica of Asia’s most famous person – SRK.
