Her statue will soon be installed with a special show, Anup said.

"I was personally moved by this true story and we decided that the coming generation must know about this immortal story of renunciation and sacrifice," Anup added.

"The wax statue of Hadi Rani and the sets of the show are ready. Recording of dialogues, voiceovers and music is being done in Mumbai. Soon tourists will be able to see this heart-wrenching story in a special light and sound show," he said.

Anup said,"We install statues of real-life heroes in the museum so that the young generation knows about them and gets inspired by them."
