8

A statue of the "King of Bollywood" Shah Rukh Khan and one of his co-stars Kajol will be unveiled in London's Leicester Square later this year.

The statue marks 30 years of the longest-running film in Indian cinema, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, starring both actors.

It will join sculptures of Harry Potter, Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain, Mary Poppins and Batman as part of Leicester Square's Scenes in the Square trail.

Mark Williams, deputy chief executive at Heart of London Business Alliance, said it was "fantastic" to add the "titans of international cinema" to the trail.
