The 250-year-old 22nd Madame Tussauds is all set to open its first branch in India in Delhi by mid-2017.
The original Madame Tussauds in the United Kingdom is known for its detailed and life-like wax figures. Since the museum is quite popular with Indian tourists, wax figures of Indian celebrities have been added to its collection over the last two decades.
Amitabh Bachchan was the first Bollywood figure to be established in this museum in London in 2000.
The two-storey attraction in Delhi will come up at Regal Cinema in Connaught Place. Apart from film personalities, it will also feature icons from the world of sports, music, etc.
