Mumbai: Returning to Macau, the Las Vegas of the East, the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards and weekend will be a "party" celebrating the magic of Indian movies across different domains, says Sabbas Joseph of Wizcraft International Entertainment, the organisers of the event.
He promises many surprises in the forthcoming 14th edition of the gala, to be held July 4-6 at the Venetian Macao, a luxury hotel and casino resort. The first time that Macau hosted the Indian film event was in 2009.
"There will be tonnes of stuff, all of which is different. We are holding back some of the information for the excitement, but we are celebrating the magic of the movies across different spectrums - from fashion, movies and dance... you will see that as we unveil it," Joseph told IANS in an interview.
He says the edition held in Macau was one of "the most successful IIFAs in the history of IIFA"....
