Toronto Chosen To Host 2011 International Indian Film Academy Awards

Ontario will host the 2011 International Indian Film Academy Awards.

The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) announced in Mumbai that the 2011 awards will be held in the Greater Toronto Area, June 16-19. The announcement means tens of thousands of visitors to Ontario, millions of dollars for the Ontario economy and hundreds of millions of viewers watching all around the world.

Indian director Ramesh Sippy and film stars such as Dia Mirza, Celina Jaitley, Fardeen Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Preity Zinta, and Hrithik Roshan lent their support as Premier McGuinty thanked IIFA for the great honour of hosting the ceremony. Toronto will be the first North American city to host the Awards, which are held in a different international city every year.

The Awards will cap a four-day celebration of everything to do with Indian film, including a film festival and industry forum.

Toronto's selection as the host of the 2011 International Indian Film Academy Awards is a real "coup" for Ontario and comes because of the reputation of the city's annual international film festival, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday.

McGuinty was in Mumbai for the announcement that Toronto will be the first North American city to host the awards, which are held in a different international city each year.

"With so many film buffs living in Ontario, Indian film stars and executives will feel right at home."
