Bollywood fans in the UK will be able to buy 12- inch dolls immortalising Bollywood's leading stars Shah
Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra from August one.
The first four actors under the brand name 'Bollywood Legends' is being launched by toy manufacturer and
distributor Spin Master Toys UK along with entrepreneur Shameen Jivraj, who had come up with the concept
four years ago. She recently approached Spin Master Toys UK to handle the UK distribution of the dolls.
Shameen has headed the 'Shiny Doll' development team as well as many other well-known children's brands
such as 'Star Wars' and 'Teletubbies'.
She said, "I became intrigued by Bollywood a little while ago and was drawn into the movies with their mix
of fun, fashion, music and dance. It's such a magical and emotive arena and I wanted to create something
that would allow the audiences to be able to take some of that magic home to treasure and enjoy in a
unique and new way."
