Did You Know: Prabhas 1st South Indian Actor To Have Wax Statue At Madame Tussauds
Did you know that Prabhas is the first South Indian actor to have a wax statue at the famous Madame Tussauds?
Prabhas is arguably the biggest pan-India actor the country has right now. The superstar has a knack of registering monumental opening day collections with his movies, and his latest release 'Kalki 2898 AD' is no different. The new pan-India film, which also stars Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani, is continuing to go from strength-to-strength at the box office. 'Kalki 2898 AD' took just two days to go past the Rs 100 crore mark, across all languages in India.
But did you know that Prabhas is the first South Indian actor to have a wax statue at the famous Madame Tussauds? Yes, you read that right!
Way back in 2017, trade analyst Ramesh Bana had shared the news, confirming Prabhas being immortalised as a wax statue.
Prabhas got his wax statue in his 'Baahubali' avatar at Madame Tussauds Bangkok.

Earlier, 'Baahubali' director SS Rajamouli had confirmed the news. Back in the Rajamouli said, "Very happy to announce that Madame Tussauds is making a wax statue of our PRABHAS… First South Indian to be honoured thus. The statue will be unveiled at Bangkok and subsequently will be toured all over the world."
Coming back to 'Kalki 2898 AD', Prabhas plays the role of a bounty hunter Bhairava in the film.
For the unversed, the sci-fi epic’s story is a mix of Hindu mythology set in a dystopian world where some people are on a mission to save the unborn child of Deepika Padukone’s character. The unborn child is believed to be Kalki, the avatar of Lord Vishnu.
‘Kalki 2898 AD’ also features cameos by Vijay Deverakonda, Mrunal Thakur, Dulquer Salmaan, SS Rajamouli, and Ram Gopal Varma.
It is important to mention that ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ has received generally favourable reviews with some fans and critics pointing out that the first half of the film has pacing issues, while the second half is super impressive.
On the work front, Prabhas has several movies lined up, such as 'Salaar 2', Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit', and 'Raja Saab'.
