This year’s International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend is being held June 6-8 in Bangkok and besides a star list of nominees and attendees, there is also a star list of performers. Many of the performances will be showcasing numbers from films that are getting ready for release later this year including Love Story 2050, De Taali and Mission Istanbul to name a few.

Priyanka Chopra, star of Love Story 2050 will be seen with co-star Harman Barweaj, in a number from the film. Harman, who in some angles looks a lot like Hrithik, will be making his debut in the film, will also be making his debut on stage at the IIFA as well. About his number he said, “My act will be unveiled in a very interesting manner unlike other performances. I will be dancing to a track from my film Love Story 2050 titled ‘Milo Ya Na Milo’. The number has been specially choreographed by Shaimak Davar. In fact Shaimak is taking special interest in my IIFA act. Unfortunately Shaimak had to leave for US and is not present for the rehearsals of the song for IIFA. However he has been calling from US every single day and asking us about the rehearsals.”

Adding that he is very excited about taking center stage, “I am not just excited. I am nervous, thrilled, eager, anxious and going through an entire gamut of emotions”.

Vivek Oberoi, Zayed Khan and Shriya Saran will also be performing a number from their upcoming action film Mission Istanbul which is scheduled to release July 25th.
