It was Bollywoods answer to Londons Madame Tussauds. After Amitabh Bachchan,Hrithik Roshan,Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,the statue of Bharat Bhushan,the protagonist of the Bheja Fry franchise was unveiled at PVR Cinemas,Phoenix Mills in Mumbai. While Sagar Ballary called it the substitute to Madame Tussauds,producer Mukul Deora called it a historical event as no other actor has had a statue in Mumbai.

Vinay Pathak,who plays Bharat Bhushan in Sagar Ballarys Bheja Fry and its sequel,along with the director,producer Mukul Deora and screenplay writer Sharat Kataria immortalised the character by installing its statue to kick off the promotion of the film.

Pathak was in his element and said,I am honoured that I have a statue right here while others have had to travel all over the world for theirs. He stated that while the eyes of the statue looked like his,the rest of the statue resembled one of his long-lost uncles.
