In an exciting announcement, it has been confirmed that actor Ram Charan’s wax statue will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds London on 9 May 2025. Adding a unique twist, his beloved pet dog, Rhyme, will be honoured with a life-size wax figure alongside him.
This extraordinary event marks a major milestone — Rhyme becomes the first pet of an Indian celebrity to be immortalised at Madame Tussauds and only the second pet ever, following Queen Elizabeth II’s corgi.
During last year’s IIFA Awards in Abu Dhabi, a special video previewed this rare honour. Fans were thrilled to see what was coming.
According to a report by Siasat, the unveiling ceremony will kick off at 6:15 p.m. local time on 9 May 2025.
A handful of lucky fans, selected by invitation, will get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch Ram Charan himself unveil the statues. After the event, both figures will be relocated to their permanent home at Madame Tussauds Singapore.
In a behind-the-scenes video shared by Madame Tussauds, Ram Charan and Rhyme can be seen arriving at the studio.
The actor and his furry companion were carefully measured by a team of skilled artists. Every single detail — from Rhyme’s fur texture to its exact shade — was painstakingly recorded to ensure the wax figures are as lifelike as possible.
“This tribute is extremely special. Rhyme’s inclusion is a proud moment,” an official close to the project said.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time London has celebrated Indian cinema with a grand statue unveiling. Recently, Leicester Square paid tribute to Bollywood legends Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol with a statue from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, adding another vibrant piece of Indian culture to the city’s iconic landscape.
Rhyme has already won over the hearts of fans online. Thanks to Ram Charan’s frequent social media posts featuring his four-legged friend, Rhyme has become somewhat of a celebrity in his own right.
It’s no surprise that this special bond has now been immortalised in wax — a fitting tribute to their unique companionship.
What’s Next for Ram Charan?
Meanwhile, Ram Charan’s professional journey continues. He was last seen in the Telugu film Game Changer alongside Kiara Advani. However, despite high expectations, the film struggled at the box office and received mixed reviews.
The actor is now gearing up for his next big project, RC16, which fans are eagerly anticipating. Details about the new film are being closely guarded, but excitement is already building.
Ram Charan’s upcoming wax statue unveiling at Madame Tussauds London is more than just a personal milestone — it’s a historic moment for Indian cinema and pet lovers alike. With Rhyme by his side, this event is set to leave a lasting impression. Fans worldwide are counting down the days until 9 May 2025, ready to celebrate this unforgettable occasion.
