Madame Tussauds Sydney presents The Bollywood World Tour

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 5th August to 28th October, visitors to Madame Tussauds Sydney have the chance to get close to models of 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 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.

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.

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.

Madame Tussauds Sydney General Manager Hywel Mathias is delighted to welcome the Bollywood World Tour to Sydney stating "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."
