The Asansol-based veteran sculptor Susanta Ray is attracting headlines after he unveiled the life-size wax statue of Sushant Singh Rajput.
"I share my first name with Sushant and we both are artists. I am a sculptor and he was an actor. That is how I connected with him while making his statue. Because if you don't get into a person's character while making their statue, you cannot bring life in it," he said.
"I have never met Sushant Singh Rajput. I made his wax statue only by seeing his photographs. Also, the statue has been made after his death, so the question of taking measurements doesn't arise," the 64-year-old sculptor added.

"I plan to set up a wax statue museum in Asansol and Sushant's statue will be placed there along with the other wax statues I have made. I know his family wants his statue to be made by Madame Tussauds Museum, but if they like my work and approach me I will definitely create another wax statue of him for them, which will be even better than the one I have made. He is no more but we want justice for him. Hope this statue contributes to the ongoing movement for his justice," the sculptor further told.
Meanwhile, many fans have been signing online petitions for putting a wax statue in Madame Tussauds.
