Please find below details of GLOBAL SUPERSTAR RAM CHARAN UNVEILS WORLD’S FIRST WAX FIGURE AT MADAME TUSSAUDS SINGAPORE – JOINED BY HIS BELOVED DOG RHYME
Singapore, 13 May 2025 – Madame Tussauds Singapore, operated by Merlin Entertainments, proudly
unveils the world’s first wax figure of Indian cinema megastar Ram Charan, immortalised in a first-ever
dual celebrity and pet figures —alongside his beloved pet Rhyme.
The multi-talented actor came face-to-face with his figure for the first time at Madame Tussauds London,
joined by his family and his father, legendary actor Mr. Chiranjeevi. The figure will then make its way to
its permanent home at Madame Tussauds Singapore from 20th May 2025 onwards.
“`Ram Charan shared, “When I saw the figure for the first time, I was absolutely stunned. The likeness is
unbelievable—from the expression to the stance to the exact detail of Rhyme by my side. It’s like
looking in a mirror, and I’m so thrilled that fans around the world will get to experience me up close.”
“`
The creation of Ram Charan’s wax figure was a feat of precision and artistry, with many months went
into bringing both Ram Charan and Rhyme to life with astonishing detail. Every feature—from the subtle
tilt of his head to the lifelike posture of Rhyme—was crafted with care to reflect the actor’s unique
personality and calm confidence.
Ram Charan is styled in a custom black velvet bandhgala, which he wore at the 2023 Oscars. The outfit is a blend of Indian tradition with red-carpet elegance, featuring a high collar, subtle gold detailing, and a tailored fit. It marked the Oscar win for “Naatu Naatu” from RRR, a landmark achievement for Ram Charan, the first-ever win for an Indian song in that category. This brought global attention to Telugu cinema, and solidified his status as an international star thanks to his powerful performance in the film.
Andre Timmins, Co-Founder of IIFA, commented
“`For over 25 years, IIFA and Madame Tussaud’s have shared a proud partnership built on celebrating Indian cinema’s biggest icons and its extraordinary cultural journey across the world. This unveiling of Ram Charan’s figure, a global superstar whose roots in South Indian cinema have redefined international perceptions is a milestone moment that reflects the growing influence of regional cinema alongside Bollywood on the global stage. As we continue to amplify Indian film through IIFA and IIFA Utsavam, it is heartening to see the world embrace our stars, stories, and artistry. Together with Madame Tussauds, we remain committed to showcasing the diversity, depth, and dynamism of Indian cinema to audiences everywhere.”“`
