MUMBAI: Just a day before the 12th Indian International Film Academy (IIFA) weekend and awards get going, Toronto is witnessing the biggest convergence of Bollywood stars unseen in the past.
The event, to be held between 23 and 25 June, will see the screening of 20 Bollywood films including Chak De India, Hera Pheri, Dabangg and Dil To Pagal Ha among others in Toronto and its sister cities of Brampton, Mississauga and Markham.
"With a number of film briefings taking place, the media will be privy to sneak previews of some highly anticipated films including Love Breakup Zindagi, Aazaan, Politics of Love and Tell Me O Khuda," IIFA organisers said in a statement.
