However, this year will not see biggies like the Bachchans and Salman Khan, as they will not be making for the star studded event due to prior commitments.
But stars like Shahrukh Khan and filmmaker Karan Johar will be spicing up the event with other celebs.
Confirming that he will not be attending the IIFA, Salman stated that he is busy shooting for ‘Bodyguard’ and thus, he wouldn’t be attending this year’s event.
"It was fun performing last year but I won't be able to make it this year because of my shooting schedule of 'Bodyguard'," said the superstar at the Film Division in New Delhi.
However, it isn’t surprising that the Bachchan family is giving a miss to the event like last year.
Interestingly, this year’s IIFA will see Shahrukh, Deols and Priyanka performing at the awards ceremony.
Bipasha, Kunal Kapoor, Rahul Khanna and Brett Lee will walk the ramp as the showstoppers for the fashion event IIFA Rocks.
Three day event at IIFA
The three day glitzy event will see the IIFA World Premiere of ‘Double Dhamaal’, a retrospective on the legendary Raj Kapoor movies at the Toronto film festival, the music and fashion extravaganza IIFA Rocks and the final event on the weekend, which would be the biggest award night at Roger's Centre.
Apart from the Toronto film festival commemorating Raj Kapoor’s movies, a street will also be named after the late legendary filmmaker.
Confirming about the Raj Kapoor’s retrospective, Sabbas Joseph, director Wizcraft International Entertainment, the main organizers of the event stated, “The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) hosting a Raj Kapoor retrospective, a street being named Raj Kapoor Crescent... It's a first time ever! Each of these are unique, special events and arrangements for IIFA... and it brings a certain engagement factor.”
SRK to perform with injured knee
Shahrukh is all geared up to sizzle on stage even with a knee injury. The actor, who will be back at IIFA after seven years, is quite upbeat about meeting his fans at Toronto.
Talking about IIFA, SRK tweeted, “Preparing for iifa visit in toronto...on 24th meeting fans at sheraton...bollywood chick has full info...hope to see u all there.”
