Salman
Khan's
past
hits
will
be
showcased
at
the
International
Indian
Film
Academy
(IIFA)
Awards
to
be
held
from
June
7
to
June
10
in
Yorkshire,
UK.
The
actor
is
also
expected
to
perform
many
romantic
filmy
dance
numbers
at
the
event.
Other
performers
include
Shilpa
Shetty,
Akshay
Kumar,
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Bipasha
Basu.
However,
a
surprising
omission
from
the
Salman
Retrospective
will
be
Hum
Dil
De
Chuke
Sanam!
Is
it
because
the
film
has
Salman
Khan
and
Aishwarya
Rai
in
the
lead
and
may
bring
back
old
memories?
To
hark
back
to
the
past,
Sallubhai
and
Ash
are
reported
to
have
fallen
passionately
in
love
during
the
making
of
this
movie.
Whatever
the
reason,
other
films
like
Maine
Pyar
Kiya,
Pyar
Kiya
to
Darna
Kya,
Maine
Pyaar
Kyun
Kiya,
Hum
Aapke
Hai
Kaun
and
Tere
Nam
-
all
of
which
are
highly
romantic
films
-
will
be
shown
during
the
festival
week.
Additionally,
the
IIFA
event
will
include
a
cricket
match
with
celebrity
players
like
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Ajay
Jadeja,
Kapil
Dev,
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Zayed
Khan.
Urmila
Matondkar
and
Preity
Zinta
are
slated
to
be
the
commentators.
IIFA
will
also
screen
2006's
most
admired
film
Rang
De
Basanti
under
its
English
name
Colours
of
Sacrifice,
with
some
of
its
stars
including
Soha
Ali
Khan
and
Kiron
Kher
putting
in
a
presence.
The
high
point
of
the
week-long
event
-
the
awards
ceremony
-
will
be
anchored
by
Lara
Dutta,
Arshad
Warsi
and
Boman
Irani
and
that
promises
to
be
a
laugh
riot,
judging
by
the
comic
talents
of
the
trio!
Amitabh
Bachchan
-
who
is
the
brand
ambassador
of
IIFA
-
and
Hollywood
star
Sienna
Miller
are
expected
to
open
the
celebrations.
Other
Hollywood
biggies
like
Colin
Firth,
Shawn
Wright
Phillips,
Emma
Thompson
and
Roger
Christian
may
also
participate
