Naap tol ke: Hrithik Roshan getting measured

Incidentally, Hrithik is the the youngest B-Town star to receive the honour. He recently travelled to London for a sitting so the artists could measure him up.

Roshan Jr will be closely involved in the creation process, collaborating with the team, deciding a pose and even donating items of clothing for his figure to wear. The figure will be created at studios in London over the next four months and will cost a whopping ufffd150,000.



The first step is to craft a perfect clay sculpture from which the moulds are made to make an amazingly lifelike wax figure. Then, a team of skilled hair and colour artists will insert the hair by hand and build up skin tones using layer upon layer of oil paint; every freckle, mole, dimple and wrinkle are accurately reproduced.

Hrithik's statue will be unveiled late-January 2011.
