Madame Tussauds to uncover Narendra Modi wax statue in April

Madame Tussauds has declared it will uncover a wax statue of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in April.

The statue, highlighting Narendra Modi in a customary Indian greeting with folded hands, will go on exhibition in London, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore.

Mr. Modi was involved in the creation of his wax statue and gave artists a session at his home in Delhi.

Mr Modi has an "enormous social media existence" and there is "intense public interest" in him, the company said.

Madame Tussauds said that the statue would allow guests to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Mr Modi and even take a selfie with him.
