Saying that he was quite surprised, Varun added: "I remember, as a kid in my holidays, visiting Madame Tussauds and clicking pictures with Mahatma Gandhi's statue. This is a huge deal for me to be the youngest actor from India to get his own statue."
Madame Tussauds' sculpting team arrived in Mumbai for taking Varun Dhawan's measurements and matching his hair and eye colors for the statue. The actor said it was a great experience and took to Twitter to share the pictures. Varun would be the fourth Indian face at the museum's Hong Kong center, the other three being Mahatma Gandhi, PM Narendra Modi, and Amitabh Bachchan.
