Bollywood superstars Kareena Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan will
take centre stage this weekend as Madame Tussauds Sydney launches their first
travelling exhibit, The Bollywood World Tour.
From August 5th to October 28th only, visitors to Madame
Tussauds Sydney have the chance to get up close and personal with five of
Bollywood's biggest stars in an interactive experience set to have everyone
practicing their best Bollywood dance moves.
To celebrate the arrival of the Bollywood legends, local
dance companies Napur Dance Group and Road2Bollywood Academy charmingly danced
around the figures to create the atmosphere of a real life Bollywood movie set.
Also present was the Consul General of India, Arun K. Goel, who was nothing
less than astounded by the lifelike figures.
With the identity of the last figure to feature in the
exhibit kept tightly under wraps, many fans will be relieved to learn that
Bollywood screen siren Kareena Kapoor will also be a part of the Bollywood
extravaganza. Born into a family of actors, Kapoor rose to fame in 2000 and
went on to cement her name as Bollywood royalty. Further to this, Kapoor played
a part in 3 Idiots (2009) which is the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all
time, taking in US$45.18million in India alone.

Another Bollywood legend to feature, Shahrukh Khan, is a
highly celebrated Bollywood actor, producer and television host. Khan has
starred in more than 50 films throughout his career, been named one of
Newsweek's '50 Most Powerful People in the World' and has a global fan
following numbering in the billions. With numerous box office smashes to his
name over the past twenty years, Khan has also earned much critical acclaim -
he has won no less than seven Filmfare Best Actor Awards.
Other screen legends to feature in the exhibit include one
of Bollywood's leading ladies and Miss World 1994, Aishwarya Rai, actor,
producer and presenter Amitabh Bachchan and child actor turned successful
Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan.
Hywel Mathias, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Sydney is
delighted to welcome the Bollywood World Tour to Sydney and remarked,
"This exhibit will add even more colour and interactivity to our
attraction, and I have no doubt the amazingly lifelike wax figures will be
extremely popular with our guests, particularly the local Indian community. The
Bollywood industry is one that is growing exponentially and we are certainly
very proud to be able to offer our guests a taste of it right here in Sydney".
