IIFA 2002 - MALAYSIA

INDIAN GLAMOUR SPARKLES OVER THE ORIENTAL

In its third year, the IIFA journey went eastwards to the Orient, towards the exotic Genting Highlands Resort, Malaysia. The World Premiere of Aankhen was hosted at the Genting International Showroom. The same evening saw the music launch of Kaante.

Malaysia hosted the first ever IIFA Forum that focused on the emerging perspectives of Indian Cinema, the exchange of technology and talent. The speakers included eminent film personalities such as Ashutosh Gowarikar, Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar and Madhur Bhandarkar.

As the Awards ceremony drew closer, even as the sun dropped into the horizon, the Arena of Stars dazzled with stars walking down the red carpet. With a never before seen extravagance, the Indian film fraternity lit up the Genting sky. As the night carried on, the performers for the evening Sushmita Sen, Isha Koppikar, Remo Fernandes and Bardot among others dazzled like never before.
