Wizcraft, the organizers of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards, have denied reports that Shah Rukh Khan may skip the awards ceremony in Toronto this week due to his knee injury.
"That's not true. These are just rumours spread by the media. He is definitely coming. Don't believe in these rumours," a Wizcraft media representative said in Toronto.
Apart from performing at the IIFA Awards, Shah Rukh Khan will also join Vivek Oberoi at a red-carpet welcome by local South Asian cultural organizations at Sheraton Hotel on Friday.
As Canada's biggest city braces for its biggest South Asian show, Bollywood stars have started streaming into Toronto. "Some of these stars are already here. Bobby Deol is definitely in town," the Wizcraft representative said.
Zayed Khan, Dia Mirza, Sonu Sood, Vijay Singh Deol, Anil Kapoor and Shekhar Kapur are among those arriving on Tuesday before the IIFA kick-off on Thursday.
A major highlight of the IFFA Awards is that Jermaine Jackson, elder brother of Michael Jackson, will team up with Sonu Nigam to pay tributes to his brother and the late 'King of Pop'.
This performance will be part of IIFA Rocks to be presented by The Bay (short for the Hudson Bay Company - the world's longest surviving registered company) which is a famous fashion name in Canada.
To be hosted by Karan Johar and Anushka Sharma, IIFA Rocks will also feature performances by Neha Dhupia, Dia Mirza, Mallika Sherawat, the cast of Double Dhamaal, and Shankar-Eshaan-Loy.
This event will also feature collections from Indian designers Sabyasachi, Rajesh Pratap Singh and Vikram Phadnis.
The IIFA events will culminate in Floriana IIFA Green Carpet and Floriana Awards ceremonies at Toronto's famous Rogers Centre on 25th June.
