In what could be a major feat for Ranveer Singh, the actor has been immortalized with wax figures at Madame Tussauds. The announcement of this honor dates back to 2019, during the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA), where Singh was presented with the Madame Tussauds of the Future Award. Since then, fans have eagerly anticipated the launch of not one, but two figures of the global superstar.
Ranveer, who was also recently recognized with the prestigious Yusr Award at the Red Sea International Film Festival, boasts an impressive accolade count, including five Filmfare Awards and three IIFA Awards. He has also received recognition at esteemed international events such as the Marrakech International Film Festival and The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. In 2022, Singh emerged as India’s leading celebrity figure, with a remarkable brand valuation of $181.7 million, surpassing other prominent personalities in the fields of film and sports.
Expressing his excitement upon seeing his inaugural Madame Tussauds figures, Ranveer said, ‘Launching my own figures at Madame Tussauds London alongside my Mum is an incredible moment for me. It feels like life has come full circle today. As a child, I remember reading about this magical place, admiring my Mum’s early pictures with celebrities’ figurines, and wondering about this remarkable place. Being immortalized alongside esteemed individuals fills me and my family with immense pride. I’m grateful for everything this year has brought.’
Bollywood Hungama quoted a Madame Tussauds London spokesperson saying, ‘Ranveer Singh is not merely an actor but a force of creative dynamism. He has not just delivered blockbusters and entertained audiences with memorable performances so far in his career, but he also enjoys a humongous fan following across the globe. His influence extends beyond just cinema and his long list of coveted brand endorsements is proof of that. His charming real-life personality is another reason why his stardom transcends globally and the launch of two new figures sitting in opposite corners of the world is a testament to his undeniable achievements.’
Ranveer Singh’s wax figure in London will be available for visitors starting December 18, joining the star-studded lineup of Madame Tussauds London, alongside personalities like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Beyonce, Cristiano Ronaldo, Shah Rukh Khan, and Deepika Padukone.
Meanwhile, Ranveer’s figure in Singapore will be open for guests to meet from December 23 within the IIFA Awards Experience zone at Madame Tussauds Singapore, standing among other celebrated figures such as Virat Kohli, Michael Jackson, and more.
