While, the committee members gave number of suggestions in this regard, Minister Dokka Manikya Varaprasad expressing his grief said ''Nowadays we are seeing even the statues of rowdies and murderers in some places. I have observed some in Guntur. There should be certain guidelines for installing the statues. I think the statue of any person should be installed 25 years after his death only, if people still remember him and demands for his statue. I agree late YSR is a great person and his statues can be spared from this condition. However, there should be certain guidelines for everything."
The cabinet sub committee's meeting and its decisions seems to be mainly aimed to control YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy who is installing hundreds of statues of his father late YSR.

SRK unveiled at Madam Tussauds 2007/4/4 23:39:48 
Madame Tussauds witnessed a gala event to welcome Shah Rukh Khan, as his statue found abode in the prestigious Madame Tussauds wax museum. The long haul came to an end on 3rd April 2007, when his statue was unveiled before an excited audience.
Shah Rukh flew down to the London museum with wife Gauri Khan. The proud duo posed next to his wax statue, which looked like the exact replica of Khan, thanks to the precise measurements of his physical features taken earlier this year. Shah Rukh experienced a grand reception from the management.
As a part of the promotions, Madame Tussauds designed a typical Bollywood-style poster saying "Shah Rukh Khan stars in Madame Tussauds". The visitors had a chance to get their personalized copy of the Bollywood poster, after being photographed with the actor. Whether they would have been lucky enough to pose with SRK in person instead of his wax statue is uncertain! A 50-minute biopic showcasing Khan's journey to stardom was screened after the statue was uncovered. All in awe of Khan, the museum's library also stocked his pictorial biography Still Reading Khan.
SRK's wax statue stands tall in the museum now. It is hard to distinguish the real Khan from his imitation. The similarity between the two is simply outstanding!

Where is Big B's wax figure today? 2007/1/7 7:56:48 
A copy of the wax figure of Amitabh Bachchan, identical to his statue at Madame Tussaud's in London, was flown down to Mumbai and unveiled by Big B himself at the Filmfare Awards, 2001. So, where is the statue today?
Big B was clearly pleased with his wax look sake and took great pride in it. In fact, later, he unveiled the statue again in an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, especially for his game show audience.
Since then the statue found permanent residence in Big B's posh KBC office at Film City, where he kept it along with his other possessions. Needless to say, the statue was high-maintenance. Fifteen air-conditioners had to be kept on at a steady temperature 24/7, all through six years to conserve the wax statue in hot and humid Mumbai. In fact, during the 26/7 deluge in 2005, the first thing that staff of KBC's office had to worry about was the well-being of the statue as it would have been ruined if the office had gone down under.
However, things are different now. The vagaries of life have caught up with both the statue and its master. Now, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to sit on the chair that AB once occupied on KBC. Allegedly, AB was none too happy about this. And soon after he got news of his replacement, he got his KBC office cleared.
Samir Nair, CEO, Star Entertainment India, says, "Mr. Bachchan got his KBC office cleared some time back. He took away his statue, along with the rest of the clutter in the office."
A source close to Big B says, "The statue is very dear to him. Although Mr Bachchan is used to compliments and admiration, the statue is a gesture that touched him. The statue is now at Jalsa. But it's not on display."
So we come back to our original question. Where is Big B's statue today? Is it lying in his attic, with 15 air-conditioners looking after it there too, away from the gaze of guests, or is it in the basement?
The beheaded Amitabh Bachchan wax figure arrived in India on February 14, 2001. That was the best way, officials at Madame Tussauds had then said, to get the famous wax statue of the legendary actor across.
"The body is made partly of fibre glass and that will go in the hold," Diane Moon, from the famous wax museum, had said. "The head is far more delicate and I will be carrying that with me in the cabin."
The body travelled in 'a large wardrobe sized case'. The head, however, was another story. "It's very, very fragile," Moon had said.
"It will be kept securely in the cabin where I can keep an eye on it. It might be hot and humid in Mumbai and we'll have to keep an eye on his head. Too much heat could soften the head. But we don't believe it will be hot enough to start melting the wax."
