Sonu Nigam to get wax statue at Madame Tussauds

Bollywood's leading playback singer is reported to become India’s first non-actor to have a wax statue

Sonu Nigam is set to join the likes of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in being immortalized at Madame Tussads museum.

The leading playback singer will become India’s first non-actor to have a wax statue at Madame Tussauds museum.



 

"Sonu was approached last December; they're expected to arrive in a month to decide on his look and measurements. He is waiting for work on his next album to get over before he focuses on this," a source close to the singer-composer was quoted as saying, reports The Times of India.



However, Sonu took to Twitter to clear the air about ongoing speculations and asked his fans to wait for the official announcement:
