Calling Allu ‘the king of dance,’ Madame Tussauds shared a picture of the actor and his wax statue on Instagram after the unveiling. The wax statue is dressed in his iconic red jacket from Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo while pulling off the ‘thaggede le’ gesture from Pushpa. Allu picked the same outfit for the unveiling. Teasing the launch of the statue earlier in the evening, Allu wrote, “It’s a milestone moment for every actor.”
An additional video of the wax statue’s unveiling was uploaded by Madame Tussauds. To Allu’s utter amazement, the grand unveiling featured not just his statue but also his daughter Arha mimicking his Pushpa pose. The actor can be seen laughing in the cute video that the wax museum posted when he sees his daughter posing with his wax figure. He adopts the Pushpa pose as he joins her in posing with the statue.
Congratulations poured in for the actor from fans and celebs. “This is amazing, hearty congratulations,” wrote Ram Charan’s wife Upasana. “Aaaattttttt (Wow),” wrote Lakshmi Manchu, praising Allu for the wax statue. Chiranjeevi’s daughter Sreeja’s estranged husband Kalyaan Dhev seemed taken by Arha’s pose, writing, “Haha buggala bangaru Arhaaaa. (Arha with her cute cheeks)”
What many don’t know is that the wax statue was unveiled on the same day his debut film Gangotri released in 2003. Reflecting on how far he has come, the actor took to X, writing, “It’s a very spl day today. My 1st movie #Gangotri was released today in 2003 & today I am launching my Wax statue at #madametussauds dubai.”
He added, “It’s been an unforgettable journey of 21 years . I am grateful to each and every one of you in this journey & special thanks to my Fans (ARMY) for their ardent love & support . Hoping to make you all more proud in years to come . Ever Grateful & Humbled.”
The 2021 movie Pushpa: The Rise featured Allu’s last appearance. He portrayed Pushpa Raj, the movie’s title character, a daily wage worker who climbs the ranks and becomes a red sandalwood smuggler. Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil also starred in the Sukumar-directed movie.
