His family are very pleased with it and they obviously know him very well" - Steve Mansfield
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan is the latest celebrity to be immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds.
The award-winning actor has starred in 50 films and is also known for his singing and producing work.
It took four months and a team of 20 dedicated sculptors to create the waxwork and principle sculptor Steve Mansfield found it is especially nerve-racking to work on someone as famous as Mr Khan.
He said: "It is quite exciting because his family are very pleased with it and they obviously know him very well. The next big test is whether his fans will like it."
Fans can pose alongside the figure and become part of their own interactive Bollywood film poster.
Indian cinema greats Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are already on show at the museum.
