As we told you last week, the London Indian Film Festival 2011 returned this year with its second edition opening the festival with the world premiere of Aamir Khan Productions’ Delhi Belly. In theaters now Delhi Belly is a comedy film starring Imran Khan, Vir Das, Kunal Roy Kapoor, Shehnaz Tresurywala and Poorna Jagannathan. We were there at the world premiere and have given you all the scoop. But we have even more just for BollySpice readers from the exciting night including 4 fabulous videos!
Even though it was world premiere at Cineworld Haymarket, London none of the actors were able to make an appearance at the event disappointing many fans. However, director Abhinay Deo was there London and told us that Imran and Aamir could not be present in London because they are busy with promoting the film in India.
A red carpet was laid inside Cineworld, Haymarket and Dhol artists were attracting the crowds on the streets to the event. Inside, Deo was busy giving one-to-one interviews and was also being mobbed by Hindi cinema fans all who wanted to meet the talented filmmaker.

Right before the screening started the audience was also entertained by professional dancers who performed on a medley of the soundtrack of the film.
