In solidary with the people of Chennai, IIFA Utsavam management has decided to postpone the event until January, 2016. The tragic floods have caused large-scale loss of lives and property, and left millions stranded. The IIFA leadership with all key stakeholders, the South Indian film industry and the Chief Minister of Telangana, K Chandrasekhar Rao and Governor of Telangana, ESL Narasimhan took a unanimous decision to postpone the event.

IIFA Utsavam was to bring together the film industries in a celebration of South Indian Cinema in Hyderabad over this weekend (from Dec, 4 to 6). Now, the event will be held in January, 2016, with a fund-raiser on a large scale in support of the city.

On behalf of IIFA management, Andre Timmins, Founder – Director, Wizcraft International commented on the decision saying, “Today, we are one with the city of Chennai and together with the film industry we will show our complete support in aid of those affected by this tragedy. The first edition of IIFA Utsavam in conjunction with the film industries of Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam will be held later as a fund-raiser for the flood victims. We are saddened by this disaster, and our prayers and support are with the people of the city.”

IIFA stands in solidary with those affected by the floods and will be making strenuous efforts toward helping the victims of the disaster.
