Ram Charan Featured At Madame Tussauds For The First Time
The Global superstar Ram Charan becomes the first Indian celebrity to be immortalised with his pet at Madame Tussauds, a rare honour previously given only to Queen Elizabeth II. The wax figure, unveiled in London, features the actor next to his beloved pet dog, Rhyme, making it a first-of-its-kind tribute in the museum’s history.
Private unveiling in london with family
The statue was officially unveiled during a private ceremony attended by Ram Charan’s close family and friends. The event marked a deeply personal and professional moment, as it showcased not only the actor’s global achievements but also the emotional bond he shares with his pet. His father, veteran actor Chiranjeevi, grew visibly emotional during the unveiling and expressed heartfelt pride in his son’s international recognition. He was joined by Ram Charan’s mother, Surekha, in celebrating this unique honor.
Originally planned to be postponed due to regional tensions, the unveiling went ahead as planned, with the family feeling confident that the timing was right as normalcy resumed in London.
Oscar night look preserved in wax
The wax figure depicts Ram Charan in the black velvet bandhgala he famously wore to the 95th Academy Awards in 2023, the night India made history with “Naatu Naatu” from RRR winning the Oscar for Best Original Song. The inclusion of Rhyme adds an intimate, personal element that sets this installation apart from others — representing not just celebrity fame, but the meaningful connections celebrities have beyond the spotlight.
Statue Relocation
The statue will be on display at Madame Tussauds London until May 19, after which it will be relocated to Madame Tussauds Singapore for public viewing. The move reflects Ram Charan’s massive international fan base and growing influence in global entertainment.
A Tribute to companionship
This installation is not only a tribute to Ram Charan’s cinematic success but also serves as a pioneering moment in celebrity representation, acknowledging the special place pets hold in our lives.
