Varun Dhawan's wax statue was unveiled at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong on Tuesday, making the 30-year-old actor the youngest Bollywood celebrity at Madame Tussauds. Varun Dhawan, who attended the unveiling of his wax statue in Hong Kong with his parents David and Karuna Dhawan, tweeted pictures and said: "All the magic all the love all the way from Hong Kong." Varun Dhawan's pose for the statue appears to be from his film
ABCD 2 - at least the jacket is. Varun Dhawan said that the jacket worn by his wax statue is the one he wore in Remo D'Souza's film. "The jacket is the same jacket I have worn in
ABCD 2. It's the original jacket Remo D'Souza and now this piece of my movie is here forever," Varun tweeted.
Can you tell the difference between Varun and his '
Judwaa'?
"I am so glad to be here. I would like to say a warm thank you to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong and my fans. I have visited Madame Tussauds when I was six and I can't believe I can be the one to stand next to the figures of various celebrities and world leaders one day. I'm so excited to finally see my figure. It is so real," Varun Dhawan said in a statement.
