The big reveal happened on March 28th, attracting an amazing crowd of influencers and media, which created a fantastic exposure for the charismatic actor.
The six-time Filmfare Award winner and India’s Prestigious National Award Winner, known affectionately as the Icon Star, ‘King of Dance,’ now stands immortalized in wax, capturing his dynamic presence and unparalleled talent. Allu Arjun’s figure finds its place in a dedicated area themed around his famous song “Butta Bomma”, featuring an interactive dance experience where guests can learn his iconic moves!
Adorned in an iconic red jacket reminiscent of his electrifying performance in the boardroom dance scene from the blockbuster movie “Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo,” the figure embodies the essence of Allu Arjun’s magnetic persona. Allu Arjun is the first actor from South India to have his statue at Madame Tussauds in Dubai.
*Reflecting on this extraordinary honour, Allu Arjun shared*, _”I visited Madame Tussauds in Los Angeles and was blown away by the experience! I can’t believe that now I’ll have a wax figure, I never would have believed it! Seeing this figure, I feel immensely grateful and humbled. It’s incredibly realistic, almost like looking in a mirror!”_
*Sanaz Kollsrud, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Dubai* said, _”Allu Arjun is without a doubt the biggest actor from the south of India. We are thrilled to unveil his wax figure, especially for our South Indian visitors. His figure is a testament to his immense popularity and the adoration he receives from fans worldwide. We are confident that his presence will further elevate the experience for our guests.”_
