The stunning Madhuri Dixit Nene unveiled her wax statue, today, at Madame Tussauds. She becomes the sixth Bollywood celebrity to proudly stand at the historic museum.

The 44-year-old actor was very thrilled to be a part of the museum.
“I am thrilled to be here in Madame Tussauds unveiling a wax figure of myself. It’s incredible just how detailed the figure is – they have captured my look beautifully!

I feel very humbled to be included alongside other Bollywood stars and some of my personal heroes,” she said.
Madhuri was thoroughly involved in the entire creation process. The actress also gave away a saree which her wax statue is wearing. The figure was completed in four months and costed USD 150,000.

“We’re delighted to welcome Madhuri (and her family) here today and to be including her figures in our A-list line-up.

“With so many awards to her name and a career spanning over 25 years she undoubtedly deserves her place here at Madame Tussauds London,” said Liz Edwards, PR Manager at Madame Tussauds.

Madhuri stars opposite Akshay for a Tamil remake !!

Following the trend of remaking south films in Hindi, actor Akshay Kumar has bought the rights of the super hit Tamil film Ko. Apparently, the actor who was in search of a lead actress has offered the plump role to Madhuri Dixit.
According to an industry source, Akshay has spoken to Madhuri about being a part of Ko and has also given her the script to read. Madhuri, we hear, although excited about the project hasn’t signed on the dotted line, yet. ‘Ko’ requires two heroines. Akshay, we hear, was initially keen to cast Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif for the same film, but decided otherwise.
The Ko remake, tentatively titled Satygraha, will go on floors soon this year. The Tamil political thriller, Ko was directed by K.V Anand. Actor Jeeva and Karthika Nair played main leads in the film. The Hindi remake of Ko will be directed by Prakash Jhan for Hari Om Productions.
