Following other Bollywood biggies including Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan will be the next to have his wax statue installed in the well-known Madame Tussauds wax museum in London.

The wax model of the heartthrob will be installed in the Bollywood section close to its western counterpart with characters such as Shrek, while the statue itself will be installed by early next year.

Andre Timmins, one of the directors of Wizcraft stated, "We began our association with the world-famous Madame Tussauds museum in 2000 when at the inaugural International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in 2000 at the Millennium Dome, Amitabh Bachchan was announced as the first ever Indian film star to be honoured in wax."

"Then followed a string of select Indian stars and we are very pleased that Hrithik Roshan now joins this esteemed waxed league, within a decade of entering the film industry."

Hrithik, who has gone a long way in his career, is a renowned international figure.

The actor's looks appeal many Hollywood film producers. He catches their attention after starring in 'Kites' opposite Mexican beauty Barbara Mori.

Hrithik, son of Rakesh Roshan, has given many hit films like Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Jodha Akbar, Koi Mil Gaya, Dhoom 2 and many more. (With Inputs from Agencies)
