The International Indian Film Academy Awards 2026 edition is set to be held in Asia in August-September, IIFA Awards founder-director Andre Timmins announced.
The event will feature a tribute to veteran actor Dharmendra, with screenings of his iconic films such as 'Sholay' and others.
IIFA will also introduce an international best film category, similar to the Oscars, and bring international digital stars to the event.
The platform aims to take Indian cinema globally, connect stars with global audiences, and open new markets for collaboration, business, and film production.
As part of its expansion, IIFA has introduced several new initiatives, including IIFA Connects, IIFA digital awards, IIFA Honours, and IIFA Tributes.
