India Cements to create Concrete statue of Mahendra Singh Dhoni
After announcing him as a Vice President of India Cements, the company Chief and BCCI President N Srinivasan showed interest in creating Concrete Statue of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The statue is in line with the idea of Madame Tussauds - wax statue of famous world personalities.
"Nobody in the history has received such an honour to get scripted in beautiful and redolent concrete of India Cements. That honour we want to give it to Dhoni as well," said Srinivasan.
He said "I already started giving such kind of honours to Dhoni in the Indian cricket team. I made it possible for him to stick to the position of Indian Cricket team Captain just by giving him some concrete to eat made by India Cements. Now we are going to construct a white colour Concrete statue just like what Madame Tussaud does in London with people like Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan."
The management of the company said that the statue will be located at the gate of India Cements head office.
"We think that the gate would be best place and it would give a longevity to the statue, as it may be possible we shift the office to some other place but statue would remain there only," said Deputy incharge of statue related project, Bala Ramchandran.
He said "We are going to make statue so perfect that even by mistake some birds poo on the statue, it would be automatically cleaned."
Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that it was his honour that India Cements identified talent in him and thought of making statue.
"I will give perfect expression for the statue," said Mahendra Singh Dhoni "Or they can even take my photographs while I am wicket keeping."
