Madame Tussauds launch Bollywood exhibition in Blackpool

Blackpool's Madame Tussauds attraction will be exclusively launching a brand new exhibition of Bollywood superstars.

The new exhibition will then tour other Madame Tussauds attractions around the world.

It is a double launch as it also sees the unveiling of Bollywood superstar, Kareena Kapoor.

The touring Bollywood exhibition is a first within Madame Tussauds, designed to allow fans across the globe the chance to enjoy the fantastic wax figures and meet their favourite celebrities.

Kareena Kapoor’s figure is the sixth Bollywood star to be recreated in wax, joining others of Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the attraction.

Kareena Kapoor said: "It is an honour and a privilege for me to have my wax figure at Madame Tussauds Blackpool and even more so to launch a global Bollywood exhibition. This is a moment of pride for Indian cinema."

A special Bollywood room is being created within Madame Tussauds Blackpool just for this special exhibition.

There is a week-long series of festivities planned in October to welcome the new wax figures to the town and create a fantastic Bollywood experience for all visitors to the resort.

Matthew Titherington, General Manager at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said: “We know that the UK will be very excited to see Kareena’s new wax figure.It is the first time she has been immortalised in wax and the first time these figures will be grouped together.

"It is the perfect place to launch our Bollywood World tour with the dedicated Bollywood room and look forward to welcoming her fans to the attraction when the figure goes on display in October.”
