Just Beat It!

A rare, not 100 percent look-alike statue of the ‘King of Pop’ Michael Jackson has been unveiled by India’s ‘King of Dance’ Prabhu Deva in Chennai.

Chandrasekaran, an MJ enthusiast came up with this idea and got this statue sculpted out of a single piece of black granite.

The statue, unveiled months before Jackson’s death anniversary in June, weighs 3.5 tonnes and was made by six sculptors who took 45 days to chisel the Billy Jean singer out of a single piece of rock reported the BBC. The statue has been donated to Vels University.

The statue embodies MJ’s signature step.
