Ram Charan has become the latest Indian star to receive a wax statue at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London. During the IIFA Awards in Abu Dhabi, the museum made the announcement with a special video, which also revealed that his dog, Rhyme, will get a life-size figure of his own.
In the video, Ram Charan is seen entering the studio with Rhyme as museum staff and wax artists measure the actor and his pup. They also try to find the perfect match for Rhyme’s fur color. Expressing his excitement, Ram Charan said he was “very honored to join the Madame Tussauds family” and added that he looked forward to connecting with his fans through his wax figure.

Recently, reports surfaced that Ram Charan’s fans took photos with Rhyme during his morning walk with a caretaker. A video of the incident circulated online, but it was later clarified that it wasn’t Rhyme but his brother, Toffee, who had the encounter.
In a humorous Instagram post (believed to be run by Ram Charan’s wife, Upasana), Rhyme denied being in Hyderabad when the incident occurred. He claimed, “I’m with nana. Beast mode #rc16.” Rhyme’s Instagram caption read, “Hello babu, that’s my brother Toffee! I’m with nana. Handle my brother with care boys.” The video further showed Rhyme with Ram Charan, with the text “He’s my younger brother Toffee, I’m with my father,” written in Telugu.

Ram Charan will next appear in Game Changer alongside Kiara Advani. The film focuses on an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer who battles corrupt politicians and advocates for fair elections to reform government processes. The Telugu film is expected to hit theaters soon.
Recently, both Ram Charan and his father, Chiranjeevi, donated ₹50 lakh each to the Telangana Chief Minister’s Relief Fund for flood victims. On September 4, Chiranjeevi expressed his concerns over the flood-related hardships and announced his donation of ₹1 crore (₹50 lakh each to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana). He emphasized the importance of collective efforts in relief work.
