Hyderabad, June 24 (UNI) Dr. A. Rajesh, a well-known "live statue artist" from Hyderabad, on Tuesday said that he will set up a 'Live Statues Museum' in Hyderabad under PPP mode if the state government extends support.
Displaying various statues of renowned leaders, celebrities made with silicone material and a remarkable creation of a "live statue" of Sai Baba with fibre material to the media here, Rajesh said that he needs at least two acres of land to set up the museum where he will create 100 life-size statues of well known freedom fighters, artists, politicians and celebrities to promote tourism.
