SRK’s host avatar to Rekha’s performance: IIFA 2024 promises a star-studded affair

In just two days, Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, will be indulged in the euphoric spirit of Indian cinema, courtesy IIFA 2024.
The new edition of the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) will take place in the Arab city from September 27 to September 29.
The three-day gala is set to kick-start with IIFA Utsavam, an event dedicated to southern film industries- Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. Megastar Chiranjeevi will be honoured at the event.
Star Rana Daggubati will be taking over the hosting duties for IIFA Utsavam. He plans to “bring a blend of fun, laughter, and a bit of behind-the-scenes magic to the viewers.”
IIFA Utsavam will also see performances by Regina Cassandra, Raashii Khanna, Prabhudeva, and Rockstar DSP, to name a few.
On the second day, stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal and Karan Johar will come on stage to entertain the audience with their hosting stint at the IIFA Awards night.
Excited to host IIFA, SRK earlier said, “IIFA is a celebration of Indian cinema that resonates across the globe and being a part of its journey over the years has been amazing.
I look forward to bringing the energy, passion, and grandeur of IIFA to life once again, as we gear up for an unforgettable celebration of Indian cinema this September.”
Karan Johar also shared his excitement and deep personal connection with IIFA, saying, “For more than two decades, IIFA has been a defining part of my journey.
My father, with his extensive industry experience and vision, was a significant member of IIFA’s advisory board in its early years, contributing to its mission of celebrating Indian cinema.
His association with IIFA was a source of immense pride, further cementing our family’s deep connection with the Indian film industry and its international outreach.
It’s an absolute honour to reignite the magic on the iconic IIFA stage for an unprecedented third showcase this September alongside my dear friend Shah Rukh Khan.” (Agencies)
