“It took me more than a minute to figure out if I was looking into a mirror or not,” said Shahid Kapoor, on his morning ritual before coming to see his wax statue, “Yeah, the statue is cool too, whatever.”

Shahid and wife Mira Kapoor posed for pictures along with the statue. “It’s unbelievable how they’ve managed to replicate him so well in this wax statue,” said Mira Kapoor, “They’ve even managed to get that scar just below his hairline, that he got when he had a miscalculated diarrhoea episode and fell on his way to the loo and mad eye swear I won’t speak about this day to anyone.”

Quickly wanting to divert everyone’s attention from Mira’s statement, Shahid decided to elaborated on his plans with the statue.

“I’m working on a super secret project that, may or may not be a remake of my movie Padmavat,” he said, clarifying, “Not that the first version wasn’t perfection, it could have been better.”

According to Shahid, he and his baby boy Zain have been working on a script that is basically Padmavat, but now with two Shahid Kapoors.

Padmavat was a movie directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and starred Shahid Kapoor, along with Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. After the movie released, Shahid had expressed his disappointment with the editing that has reduced the screen time for his character, in favour of Ranveer Singh’s villainous one.

“The note given to me by the director was to look like a beautiful wax statue version of myself,” he said, “This makes Wax Shahid’s addition to the movie almost seamless.”

Shahid and Zain plan to retain all the problematic suicide and misogynistic stuff, so as to “preserve the authenticity of the time.”

The actor is planning to produce the movie himself. “I believe in the script. And maybe with two of me this time, I’ll get more screen time.”
