**Mumbai, India** – Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan surprised fans with a new short hairstyle at a press conference announcing the upcoming IIFA Awards. He will be co-hosting the event with fellow filmmaker Karan Johar, marking his return to the stage after a decade.

Khan, known for his charismatic personality, took a playful jab at Johar for his focus on chat shows rather than directing films. “He hosts chat shows, film shows. Picturein bhi toh bana mere bhai (When are you going to make films, my brother?)” Khan joked, eliciting laughter from the audience.

Johar, whose last directorial venture was “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” admitted Khan was right and expressed his desire to return to directing.

The IIFA Awards, a three-day event, will be held from September 27 to 29 on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, for the third consecutive year. Khan expressed his enthusiasm for hosting the awards alongside Johar and actor Vicky Kaushal.

This year’s event will feature performances by veteran actor Rekha and stars such as Shahid Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon.

A notable highlight of the 2024 IIFA Awards is the inclusion of South Indian films – Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada – alongside Hindi films. This move aims to celebrate the diversity of Indian cinema.

Telugu star Rana Daggubati, who will co-host the “IIFA Utsavam” alongside Teja Sajja, lauded Khan’s hospitality and praised his efforts to promote South Indian cinema.

The IIFA Awards 2024 promises to be a grand celebration of Indian cinema, showcasing the best of both Bollywood and South Indian films.
