Another good example of Jo dhikta hai woh bhikta hai... Jo Bhikta hai woh chalta hai.....

Lets face it....and I hate to say this.....AB Jr... career is going no where... Ash's has peaked and is on its way down.... And how long will the sheen last just riding on Bachchan Sr's shoulders....
 
IIFA is not doing any charity nor it is funded by the Bachchans.... End of the day it is a business and whatever gets them the dough works for them....
 
and past couple of years the presence of the Bachchans at the IIFA was alienating the rest of the Bollywood mainly the Bollywood Superstars....
 
Initially it worked having the Bachchans on board and then as the intial euphoria waned so did the attention, the viewership, the sponsor, the TRP's....
 
and last year was the final nail in the coffin..... the Bachchan's boycotted it and the IIFA found a good reason to end their 'services'
 
anyways... does it really matter... all these awards, not just these but in general all the Bollywood awards all they provide is a source of entertainment....Total time pass....
Regarding IIFA....The Bachchan saga ends and a new saga begins...... πŸ˜‰

Sabbas Joseph of IIFA says "IIFA has aborted the concept of a Brand Ambassador... we are not having anyone replace Mr. Bachchan."

Why all of a sudden?? I feel Anil Kapoor is the new AmbassadorπŸ˜†

SrBachchan has been the face of IIFA since its inception. Respect he commands cannot be described in mere words.

Have attended almost all IIFA events over the years, just can't imagine how IIFA will be at Toronto this year, without @SrBachchan

Sabbas Joseph of IIFA says "IIFA has aborted the concept of a Brand Ambassador... we are not having anyone replace Mr. Bachchan."

Sabbas Joseph of IIFA says "We have already shared with them [Bachchan family] a proposal about their participation this year too."

Sabbas Joseph of IIFA says "Mr Bachchan's reason for non-participation is best known to him. IIFA and Mr. Bachchan are inseparable."

Concludes the statement issued by Sabbas Joseph of IIFA "We will continue to pursue his [Mr Bachchan] participation for this year too."


So Bachchan are boycotting awards because Amitabh isn't the Ambassador anymore??πŸ₯± They're boycotting Filmfare and now iifa, what's next? ZCA?? well they have been avoiding many awards recently.

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.

QUICK FACTS

    The IIFA Awards are expected to draw over 500 people from the Indian film industry, about 40,000 visitors and an international television audience of more than 350 million. The first IIFA Awards were held at the Millennium Dome in London, England in 2000. The Toronto International Film Festival welcomes 450,000 people every year, including film executives, movie buffs and everyday citizens in a celebration of film.
  • In 2007, IIFA changed their red carpet events to green carpet events to show their support for initiatives to fight climate change.
