Allu Arjun unveils his wax statue at Madame Tussaud's Dubai

Twenty-one years ago, Allu Arjun debuted in Telugu cinema with the film Gangotri. Over two decades later, he attained another milestone by becoming the first South Indian actor to unveil his wax statue at Madame Tussaud’s Museum in Dubai.

The statue flaunted a red jacket, with his signature “Taggedele” pose from the blockbuster film Pushpa (2021).

The red jacket also reminds us of his electrifying performance in the boardroom dance scene from the movie Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2019).

Sharing the achievement on X, Allu Arjun wrote: “My 1st movie #Gangotri was released today in 2003 & today I am launching my Wax statue at #madametussauds Dubai. It’s been an unforgettable journey of 21 years.”

He thanked his fans by saying, “I am grateful to each and every one of you in this journey & special thanks to my Fans (ARMY) for their ardent love & support. ”

Allu Arjun’s family accompanied him to the Madame Tussauds’ museum in Dubai.

The unveiling video of the wax statue, shared by the actor and the official handle of Madame Tussaud’s Dubai, showed Allu Arjun’s daughter Arha standing beside the statue copying his pose.

Reflecting on this honour, Allu Arjun shared, “I visited Madame Tussauds in Los Angeles and was blown away by the experience!”

Expressing his happiness, the actor said, “I can’t believe that now I’ll have a wax figure, I never would have believed it! Seeing this figure, I feel immensely grateful and humbled. It’s incredibly realistic, almost like looking in a mirror!”

According to a press release from the museum team, making Allu Arjun’s wax figure involved meticulous attention to detail, with over 200 measurements taken during a “sitting” earlier this year.

This painstaking process ensured that every aspect of the figure — from his expression to his signature dance moves — was authentically captured.
