World renowned wax museum, Madame Tussauds is all set to unveil a wax statue of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A team from Madame Tussauds spent considerable time in taking down all the measurements at the Prime Minister’s residence in New Delhi earlier this year.
"Prime Minister Modi is a hugely important figure in world politics, a position supported by his place in the top 10 of Time Magazine's Person of the Year List 2015. His massive social media presence - he is currently the second most followed politician on twitter after President Obama - also confirms the intense interest the public have in him, a fact supported by the requests our guests have made for us to create his figure," museum spokesperson Kieran Lancini was quoted by PTI.
