IIFA festival to host premieres, special screenings

The Videocon d2h IIFA Weekend has announced a range of premieres, special screenings and previews of upcoming Bollywood films.

The Toronto-based event is also expected to attract a large number of Hindi film celebrities and performers.

"With a number of film briefings taking place, the media will be privy to sneak previews of some highly anticipated films including upcoming flicks Love Breakup Zindagi, Aazaan, Politics of Love and Tell Me O Khuda," organisers said in a statement.

Politics of Love is scheduled to become the first international film to debut at the festival, following rumours that the project was going to release straight to DVD.

"Starring Mallika Sherawat and Hollywood stars Brian J White and Loretta Devine, this much-awaited 'rom-com' revolves around an unlikely romance during the time of the last presidential election in the United States," the statement added.

The long-delayed Esha Deol comeback vehicle Tell Me O Khuda, which features the actor alongside real-life father Dharmendra, will also screen.

In addition to the main awards show, the IIFA Film Festival will take place at cinemas across four cities in the Greater Toronto area from June 24.

IIFA Awards sell out six months in advance

The annual event which began more than a decade ago has grown significantly since its inception.

"This IIFA is going to be the biggest and the best ever to date," Timmins said.

The sale of tickets has exceeded previous years' sales, with more than 12,000 sold for the Toronto event.
