The
controversy-ridden
11th
International
Indian
Film
Academy
(IIFA)
Awards
2010
is
turning
into
an
ill-fated
event,
at
least
for
many
Indian
actors.
The
South
Indian
Film
Chamber
of
Commerce
(SIFCC)
has
threatened
to
boycott
all
the
actors
who
attend
the
IIFA
awards
which
begins
to
at
Colombo,
Sri
Lanka.
SIFCC
had
earlier
called
for
banning
the
event
and
it
was
endorsed
by
big
south
Indian
actors.
Superstar
Kamal
Hassan
appealed
to
change
the
venue
but
it
went
to
the
deft
ears
of
the
organisers.
So,
he
along
with
Khushboo,
director
Mani
Ratnam
and
others
have
decided
to
skip
the
event
to
show
their
support
for
the
cause
of
the
Tamilians.
Many
Bollywood
actors
including
Amitabh
Bachchan,
the
brand
ambassador
of
IIFA,
has
decided
to
stay
away
from
the
event.
Actors
like
Shahrukh
Khan,
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Arjun
Rampal,
Aishwarya
Bachchan
and
others
are
not
attending
it.
However,
actors
who
have
confirmed
their
presence
at
the
event
include
Hrithik
Roshan,
Suniel
Shetty,
Salman
Khan,
Vivek
Oberoi,
Kareena
Kapoor,
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Dino
Morea,
Priyanka
Chopra,
Ranbir
Kapoor,
Riteish
Deshmukh
and
others.
The
event
which
will
be
concluded
on
June
5,
earned
the
wrath
of
the
Tamilians
over
the
choice
of
its
venue.
They
alleged
that
holding
the
event
in
Sri
Lanka,
after
all
the
atrocities
meted
to
the
Tamilians
in
the
country,
would
give
out
the
message
that
the
island
country
has
come
back
to
normalcy.
