Former Indian hockey captain Sandeep Singh will soon be joining the ranks of Maharana Pratap, Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Mother Teresa, Amitabh Bachchan and other prominent personalities to be immortalised at Jaipur Wax Museum at the Nahargarh Fort. Singh, who has given many golden moments to Indian hockey, will get his own wax statue in June.
“It is a big honour for me. I am overwhelmed at this gesture of Jaipur Wax Museum. The museum authorities approached me about two months back with the proposal and I instantly said yes. My statue will be unveiled sometime in June, closer to the release date of my biopic (Soorma), which is July 13,” Singh said in a statement.
Elated over the news, actor Diljit Dosanjh, who is portraying Singh in his upcoming biopic, said, "I feel proud to be part of 'Soorma'. Sandeep has never failed to make India proud, be it on field or off it, he keeps setting the benchmark higher."
Soorma, directed by Shaad Ali, also features Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi. It will hit theatres on July 13, 2018.
