It feels like life has come full circle today. He remembers reading in wonderment on this mythical, magical place as a kid, going through his mum’s early pictures with popular celebrity figurines and wondering what this place is all about.
In a statement Ranveer said that today, being immortalised as a figure in the company of such esteemed individuals is a remarkably proud feeling for him and for his family. There is a lot for him to be thankful about this year and he is so grateful for everything.

While Singh’s London figure pays homage to his culture and heritage with the neon sherwani designed by Manish Arora as part of his wedding celebrations, his Singapore statue is dressed in a custom tuxedo crafted by Gaurav Gupta which features a velvet blazer with floral embellishments.
The London branch of Madame Tussauds also houses wax statues of Indian cinema stars such as Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The Singapore outlet displays the figures of Karan Johar, Chopra Jonas and many more Indian personalities.
A Madame Tussauds London spokesperson described Singh as not merely an actor but a force of creative dynamism.
Adding he has not just delivered blockbusters and entertained audiences with memorable performances so far in his career, but also enjoys a humongous fan following across the globe. His influence extends beyond just cinema and his long list of coveted brand endorsements is a proof of that.”
His charming real-life personality is another reason why his stardom transcends globally and the launch of two new figures sitting in opposite corners of the world is a testament to his undeniable achievements,” the spokesperson concluded.
As per Andre Timmins, co-founder of the IIFA, it is exciting for the academy to be a part of this launch.
It was at the 2011 IIFA Awards Toronto, where he won his first Best Debutant Award, and said on stage that ‘this is just the beginning’. And sure it was truly just the start of a soaring career, and we are proud as a brand to have been able to take an icon of Indian cinema to such new heights, with global recognition, such as being honoured at the Madame Tussauds London.
Singh made a phenomenal debut in 2010 with ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ and has gone on to play diverse roles in films such as ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Lootera’, ‘Padmaavat’, ‘Gully Boy’, and his latest, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani’.
