Waxwork double

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be adding another feather to his cap on Thursday.
The 44-year-old icon will be honoured in Hollywood on Thursday after his wax idol will be unveiled at Los Angeles' Madame Tussauds museum.
The honour marks the 20th anniversary of Shah Rukh's 'King of Bollywood' title in the Indian film industry, which the actor was given at the beginning of his career, Contactmusic reported.
Shah Rukh's waxwork double, which cost $ 300,000 to make, will be launched later today, the report stated.

Could you please explain to me what "waxwork double" means in this context?

Though I know "wax" is a substance as in candle.
