Madame Tussauds Wax Museum opened its doors on December 1, in New Delhi. It will be home to around 50 wax figures, including cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara; actors Richard Gere, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Marilyn Monroe; sports personalities Mary Kom, Milkha Singh and Lionel Messi; as well as political leaders Mahatma Gandhi, and current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.
Anshul Jain, general manager and director, Merlin Entertainment Group, India, which brought Madame Tussauds to India said, “60 percent of the wax models are Indian.” The ticket price in India is one-third the charge elsewhere in a bid to make it more accessible to the masses, reports the Indian Express.
