In April 2018, Mahesh Babu had posted a picture on Instagram posing with a box of dummy eyeballs, with the caption: “Super happy to be a part of the prestigious Madame Tussauds. Thanks to the team of artistes for their attention to detail. Incredible!”. Madame Tussauds is creating a replica of Mahesh Babu and not of any his iconic characters, as opposed to Prabhas whose wax statue will be ‘ in character' as Amarendra from _Baahubali_ .
