The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards have always been a star-studded event, but this year’s edition in Abu Dhabi may feature an extra special reunion. Andrea Timmins, co-founder of IIFA, recently teased fans about a potential appearance by Salman Khan on stage with Shah Rukh Khan.
“Salman is family, and we’ve known each other for over 30 years. He’s been a part of every IIFA show, and we definitely miss him. It has always been my dream to get Salman and Shah Rukh together on the IIFA stage. Unfortunately, due to his hectic schedule with Bigg Boss and his upcoming movie shoot, he might not be able to attend the event. But maybe he’ll surprise us and drop in on the 28th,” Andrea revealed in an interview with Instant Bollywood.
Last year, Salman completed 21 years of his association with IIFA, taking centre stage as the host in 2022. While he didn’t host last year, he was one of the key performers. This time around, the actor is busy with his movie ‘Sikandar’ and Bigg Boss 18, making it difficult for him to commit to the full weekend. However, Andrea’s comments have sparked speculation that he may still make a surprise appearance.
The IIFA Awards 2024, set to take place from September 27 to 29 at the Etihad Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, will see Shah Rukh Khan as the main host, alongside Karan Johar. Fans are already excited after witnessing the duo’s fun banter during the IIFA press conference earlier this month. Shah Rukh humorously teased Karan, saying, “Bhai, picture bhi bana na… kitna host karega tu?” Karan, ever the good sport, laughed it off.
In addition to the hosting duo, performances by Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Janhvi Kapoor and the legendary Rekha are all scheduled, promising a dazzling weekend of entertainment. With the anticipation building, fans are left wondering if Salman will indeed show up to surprise everyone alongside Shah Rukh.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh is set to star in his upcoming film King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, marking his first on-screen collaboration with his daughter Suhana Khan. This father-daughter pairing is one of the most awaited elements of the film.
