The 23rd edition of the grandest celebration of Indian cinema - the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards is all set to descend upon Yas Island for a glorious weekend of cinematic excellence. Anticipation is rising as Etihad Park prepares to honour the most renowned stars of the Indian Film Academy, including names like Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, Ananya Pandey, Sara Ali Khan, Kartik Aaryan, Karan Johar, Salman Khan, amongst others. These international celebrities will be hosted by none other than W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island, the Official Celebrity Host Hotel for the event. The weekend of May 25th - 27th will be a star-studded affair at the W hotel with multiple events, parties, and enlivening entertainment scheduled around the main event, to allow attendees to enjoy every minute of this cultural celebration.
Andre Timmins, Director- Wizcraft International, the producer, and creator of IIFA, “has often described the awards extravaganza as “a big fat Indian wedding”. Talking about this year’s three-day bonanza, he says, “It’s still a few weddings rolled into one, but the revelry has only grown bigger and better over the years. From a one-night affair in London, for which we flew down a baraat of just 450, IIFA becomes a three-day gala with thousands of guests jetting in from around the world. We have travelled the world with it, from Thailand, Singapore, Spain and Malaysia to South Africa, the USA, and now UAE. For the second time Yas Island has become a big yassss for the film fraternity and their fans worldwide and we can’t wait to return to our favourite destination this May. Let the celebrations begin at our home in Abu Dhabi, W Yas Island.”
